Matt Carthy: As Deputy Martin Kenny said, we are here today because Fine Gael in government has a problem in regard to cronyism. It has a problem of doing favours with insiders. It has a big problem with being held to account when caught out. This is the second time in three weeks that a Fine Gael member of Government has had to come before the Dáil to answer questions about his or her conduct....

Chapter 2 – Central Government Funding of Local Authorities. (25 Nov 2020) Matt Carthy: I welcome our guests. I want to return to a point that had been raised by Deputy Munster with regard to the single-stage approval process. With much fanfare, the limit was increased from €2 million to €6 million. It has been indicated that there is only one project, which is in the early stages of that process. How many houses is that project expected to deliver?

Chapter 2 – Central Government Funding of Local Authorities. (25 Nov 2020) Matt Carthy: I am a new Member of the Dáil but I was previously a member of a local authority. I was chairman of a housing strategic policy committee, SPC. I have heard this language from the Department since I cannot recall when and the problem is the outputs.

Chapter 2 – Central Government Funding of Local Authorities. (25 Nov 2020) Matt Carthy: I understand that these things, unfortunately, do not happen quickly but we are in the middle of a crisis so they need to happen quickly. I refer to HAP and the fact that 60% of outputs in 2019 were related to HAP payments. What was the budget for HAP in 2019?

Chapter 2 – Central Government Funding of Local Authorities. (25 Nov 2020) Matt Carthy: When I was a local councillor in the early 2000s, a house in the housing estate in which I grew up came on the market. Usually, in these cases, the local authority would quickly purchase the house. It was good value and a house built by the council. The Department refused to allow the council to buy it, however. It was bought for €42,000. Since then, the owner of that house has...
