- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: An Bord Pleanála: Discussion (6 Feb 2019)
Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: I wish to discuss objections. The Minister spoke about clarifying objections some weeks back. What is Mr. Walsh's opinion on that? The Minister spoke of the neighbour next door who might not want houses beside him and so is looking at putting something in place.

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: I support my colleagues who have spoken on the costs of the national children's hospital. It has been a talking point all weekend. A lot has been left untold and we are getting leaks of information here and there. There is no accountability.

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: Nobody wants to take responsibility. There are capital projects in my own area, such as the Holy Angels school for children with disabilities, which has been waiting for 40 years for funding to move its children out of prefabs. Will it get the funding this year or will it be one of the projects that will be left again for another 20 years without being done?

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: For three years there has been no overnight respite in Carlow. While we are told that the preparations for it are nearly finished, there are problems as to whether there will be bus services, how many nights it will be open or what will happen in the long term. What will be the effect of this? It is unacceptable that the Taoiseach and Ministers launch and relaunch projects all the time but...

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: I give my full support to the nurses. I know how hard they work. They play a major role in people's lives from the time someone is a baby to when he or she dies. They do a great job and we should appreciate them. Everyone needs to get air. The Government must get together with the INMO, sit down and sort this out. The nurses deserve it. Nursing is a calling. It is important that we...
- Seanad: Housing Provision: Statements (30 Jan 2019)
Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: I thank the Minister for his report. It is no secret that we are in the worst of times. Chaos and uncertainty loom next month because of Brexit, members of the health sector are taking to the streets and people are dying in our towns and cities. Last week, another homeless man was found dead in a derelict building in my county. My heart breaks for his family, to whom I send my deepest...

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: Local authorities will be the key to turning the land into homes by working with other agencies to identify where affordable homes should be built. Local authorities would then take out a loan from the Housing Finance Agency to build the units, with a further average €40,000 to €50,000 subsidy per home directly from the Exchequer. I have raised concerns about the housing...
