- Forestry Strategy: Statements (26 Jan 2023)
Matt Carthy: The Government is out of touch with the people we will need to deliver this programme. We need farmers, but the Government has alienated them. We need the forestry sector, but the Government has alienated it. We need local communities, but the Government has alienated them and disengaged them from the process. Unless the Government realises these failures, it will not be able to address them.

Chapter 7: The Housing Agency’s Revolving Acquisition Fund (26 Jan 2023) Matt Carthy: I read in this morning's edition of The Irish Timesthat the Housing Commission has indicated that Ireland needs somewhere between 42,000 and 62,000 new homes each year, which is wildly out of kilter with the targets set out by the Government and the Department.

Chapter 7: The Housing Agency’s Revolving Acquisition Fund (26 Jan 2023) Matt Carthy: The point I am making is that, for several years, members of this committee and others have been saying it is their belief that the housing targets have been understated in terms of what is actually required, and the Department has disputed that. Mr. Doyle is now saying that the Department is reviewing that. When will that review be completed?
