Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Local Authorities (1 Jul 2025)

Conor Sheehan: From the substance of the Minister's reply, it sounds like this funding is being delayed until the new infrastructure fund is active. Is there a way he can frontload the delivery of the infrastructure fund to release the funding? As far as I understand, there was a proposal from the LDA that the €5 million shortfall would be added to the purchase price of the affordable homes, which...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Local Authorities (1 Jul 2025)

Conor Sheehan: I thank the Minister. From my point of view and that of the local authority, this entire project is essentially being held up because of €5 million, which is a very small sum of money in the grand scale of things. This project has been in planning since last year and was first announced in May 2024. We have had the highest percentage increase in house prices in Limerick in the past...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Housing Policy (1 Jul 2025)

Conor Sheehan: The plan was supposed to be published in July. I understand from the Minister said and what we have seen in the media that it will be delayed until September. We know the Government has a target to deliver 303,000 homes by 2030 and that the target will be missed again this year by around 10,000. Will the Minister give the House an outline of what measures to scale up delivery are being...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Housing Policy (1 Jul 2025)

Conor Sheehan: The Minister did not address the recommendation from the Housing Commission to increase social and affordable housing to 20% of all stock. This badly needs to be done. It is a key plank of the commission's recommendations. I hope the Minister might be able to give us an outline of when each section of the Planning and Development Act will be enacted, including timelines, and whether he...

Disregard of Historic Offences for Consensual Sexual Activity Between Men Bill 2025: First Stage (1 Jul 2025)

Conor Sheehan: Many men live with the trauma inflicted upon them by a society that told them they should not exist. Despite an apology in 2018, no action has been taken by Government to put a process in place to disregard these convictions. Many men are living with the shame and stigma of these convictions. The shame and trauma drove many people to their graves. Gay men were driven underground by this...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Jul 2025)

Conor Sheehan: After a very successful Pride at the weekend, and given the fact that we are coming up to ten years of the Gender Recognition Act being passed, I am calling for statements on Pride, particularly regarding the issues in trans healthcare and the fact people have to go abroad when they should not have to.
