Consumer Credit (Amendment) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (25 May 2022)

Pearse Doherty: The Minister of State is right in that there is much we agree on and I have been working on this for quite a number of years. He said he would like to see interest rates reduce as much as I would. I do not believe that is the case because, if it were, he would not be proposing an APR of 129%. However, I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt. He can vote for my amendment, which...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (25 May 2022)

Pearse Doherty: Families are living in crumbling homes in counties Donegal, Mayo, Sligo, Clare and right across many other counties. They have waited and waited for a just scheme - one that is fit for purpose and that allows them to start to rebuild their lives.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (25 May 2022)

Pearse Doherty: Enough of the Minister's spoofing. Here are a couple of home truths. He has been in the Department for a couple of years. House prices are going through the roof. Entire generations have been locked out of homeownership under his watch. Rents are spiralling out of control. They are increasing dramatically in many counties, which means people are becoming homeless. Homelessness is...
