Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Social and Affordable Housing: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Mar 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: Is there an indicative figure for Dublin?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Social and Affordable Housing: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Mar 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: I want to come back to that issue of staffing because I certainly appreciated that indicative figure of 50. I am not nailing Mr. Taaffe to numbers - broad terms are all right. I welcome how he talked about gearing up the particular teams, particularly within Dublin City Council, which has a majority in my area. I would just like to clarify, whether 50 is the total overall number he...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Social and Affordable Housing: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Mar 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: That is fine. That concept of mixed tenure is very crucial. I represent Ballymun and Finglas and we know building mono-tenure and mono-income, particularly low-income, is not the way forward. However, sometimes the complexity of the mixed tenure and mixed income provides a real challenge for local authorities to get their head around and get implementation. What I believe the AHBs are...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Social and Affordable Housing: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Mar 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Social and Affordable Housing: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Mar 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank the witnesses for helping me do what I wanted to do today, which was to iron out some of the interaction issues. The responses I have received on cost rental, the CREL scheme and all of those other issues are really useful. Ms Cosgrove mentioned a submission to the Department. If it could be provided to us, if that is not a breach, I would very much welcome it. I am sorry to...

Paul McAuliffe: I do not think it is prioritised by the Department either. That is one of the challenges.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Social and Affordable Housing: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Mar 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: Or in government. If I might make one concluding statement, I agree with what both witnesses have said about the overall pipeline and using up land coming available shortly. However, I can only buy into that when on the acres and acres of land in my constituency we have a plan for each site. We do not have that at the moment. If any of our guests wants to come and build a house in Dublin...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (24 Mar 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: I preface my remarks by thanking the Minister for his kind words regarding an t-iar-Theachta Dála agus an t-iar-Sheanadóir Dermot Fitzpatrick. The thoughts of those of us in Fianna Fáil and throughout the House will be with his family, in particular his daughter Senator Mary Fitzpatrick. I imagine in the Upper House there will be plenty of time to talk about the doc and pay...

Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (22 Mar 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: Like many Irish people, I have looked at the devastation in Mariupol and - let us call it for what it is - the war crimes that are being committed there. I have seen the real fear and anxiety in Kyiv and in each European Union country that borders Russia. It is very hard to be neutral when we look at the pictures each night or talk to people in any of those places. It is very hard to have...
