Paschal Donohoe: I propose to take Questions Nos. 49 and 54 together. What does the Deputy mean by "capacity"? Does he mean numbers of people? Does he mean bricklayers, carpenters and plumbers?

Rose Conway-Walsh: There is no transparency around these contracts, even long after the deals have been signed, so we have to ask where the oversight and accountability are. When the Minister had this portfolio in 2017, the IMF recommended Ireland reduce the sums Departments could spend on PPP contracts. Departments are not supposed to spend more than 10% of the capital budget, as the Minister knows, on...

Paschal Donohoe: The publication by the Government tomorrow morning of the latest update on the delivery of the housing action plan will show the progress we are making in the delivery of our housing targets. The Deputy only has to look at the figures for the first quarter of this year - the number of commencements and the number of homes currently being built - to see that we will do more than deliver on...

Rose Conway-Walsh: The NDP set the target of expenditure as a share of GNI to properly account for inflation, especially when we are talking about a multiannual plan and indeed a multi-billion euro plan like the NDP. Since 2021 we have seen the high levels of inflation, particularly in construction, yet the funding was never adjusted to account for it. Budget after budget, the Government has acted like...

The works were completed in January 2022. Earlier this month, Wexford County Council made an application to the OPW under the OPW minor flood mitigation works and coastal protection scheme for further funding to progress the Seaview coastal protection scheme. The council proposes to introduce 155 m of rock armour coastal protection fronting several houses at Seaview on the Wexford coast....

Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the Minister of State for reading out the reply. It is the exact same as I received to a parliamentary question on 6 March 2024. If the Department of Health thinks I am going away, I am not. The reality is the Minister of State addressed the issue at the very end. The script did not address the realities of the issue. I was amused that the officials mentioned the fact that...

Malcolm Noonan: Regarding De La Salle College in Dundalk, my understanding is that, last October, five students were accepted into its ASD unit for the semester starting in September 2023. However, on 26 March of this year, the school called to state it could no longer offer a place to any of the students. The reason given to parents was that the Department of Education was not providing the promised...

Thomas Byrne: I thank the Deputy for raising the issue. Gabhaim buíochas léi as a dhea-ghuí chugam ar mo cheapacháin mar Aire Stáit le freagracht as an nGaeltacht. She raised an important question. I acknowledge how important it is. What is said in the supplementary information, which is that people are told to hunt throughout the county, should not be said. Students with...

Michael McNamara: The concentration of land ownership in many parts of the country is a problem. It is particularly noticeable in south Tipperary and, indeed, the OPW's activities in north Clare are creating their own pressures. Obviously, the Tánaiste will be aware of the Irish Land Commission. It was abolished in the last century but he was a Deputy at the time. Nobody is proposing that it be...

Richard Boyd Barrett: All those statistics are cold comfort to Amy and her husband, who were in my office this week. Amy is out of work on illness benefit at the moment and her husband is a bus driver. Their net income after tax is €48,000. They are facing homelessness because of an eviction on grounds of sale. The only accommodation available costs €3,000 in rent per month. Because they are...
