- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Homelessness: Discussion (5 Mar 2024)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Homelessness: Discussion (5 Mar 2024)
Cian O'Callaghan: The complaint I have received is that people are sleeping rough in the vicinity of Mount Street who are the direct responsibility of the DRHE and there has not been sufficient, or any, engagement from the outreach team. That is why I was asking that question. Finally, on the rough sleeper count, there was an issue in November 2022 when the outreach team counted 180 people sleeping rough...

Cian O'Callaghan: I thank everyone who has come in. A lot of very important points have been made, and I thank all the witnesses for their contributions. Will the National One Parent Family Alliance expand a little on the four calls it has made here? Second, Ms Bayliss talked about all children in emergency accommodation having access to a child support worker. What does she think that needs to look...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Homelessness: Discussion (5 Mar 2024)
Cian O'Callaghan: I have a follow-up question to that. We have discussed with the Dublin Region Homeless Executive the fact that, previously, there was a certain number of on-site support workers in NGO and not-for-profit homeless accommodation, whereas they were not in private emergency accommodation. Now there are visiting support workers provided by NGOs to private emergency accommodation. What is the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Homelessness: Discussion (5 Mar 2024)
Cian O'Callaghan: Whether the children are in private emergency accommodation or with an NGO, they get the same access to child support workers. Is that the case or does Ms Bayliss not know?
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (5 Mar 2024)
Cian O'Callaghan: I would be grateful to get a view on the following point: let us say the elected members in a local authority adopt a development plan and, for a geographical area, put in objectives around flood relief works having to involve nature-based solutions. Then, if there was a proposal for flood relief works that were not nature-based solutions but fitted with the criteria for the material...

- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (29 Feb 2024)
Cian O'Callaghan: This is to make an insertion in page 63 between lines 4 and 5. There is wording relating to Northern Ireland which reads "any Department or body in Northern Ireland having responsibility for regional development". However, as Deputy Ó Broin has said, transboundary development not necessarily connected with Northern Ireland could have impacts and this needs to be covered. We spoke to...
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (29 Feb 2024)
Cian O'Callaghan: On section 215 and transboundary environmental impacts, the section says specifically that “the Minister may prescribe arrangements for”, and I will spare everyone from reading it all, but it repeatedly refers to “applications for permission” for development. We are talking about the national planning framework and not planning applications for development. They...
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (29 Feb 2024)
Cian O'Callaghan: My question about section 215 was about applications for permissions not about the national planning framework. Will the Minister of State tell us how he feels section 215 is particularly relevant to the national planning framework because I cannot see any mention in section 215 of the national planning framework or of anything similar?
