Public Private Partnership on Capital Infrastructure: Statements (26 Apr 2018)

Eoin Ó Broin: Rebuilding Ireland has a commitment to provide 50,000 social houses over the next six years. As we have been saying for some time on this side of the Chamber, a significant portion of those are not real social houses at all. Up to 30% of that 50,000 will be delivered through PPPs or various forms of leasing from the private sector, the most recent of which is a kind of PPP on steroids. The...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Response to National Emergencies: Irish Water (25 Apr 2018)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the witnesses for the presentations. On the management and timing of the information which was released, I understand there was a fear, both in Irish Water and the Department, that if people were alerted too early, it could lead to the hoarding of water which, in turn, could have created shortages of supply. I accept that is reasonable. Has there been any assessment, however, of...

I acknowledge the extent to which Mr. Grant, Mr. Quinn and their staff have made...

Community Employment Pension Scheme: Motion [Private Members] (24 Apr 2018)

Eoin Ó Broin: To reiterate Deputy Kenny's point, none of us should be here.

The reality, however, for many older people in almost all of our constituencies is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Housing for Older People: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Apr 2018)

Eoin Ó Broin: Moving on to the officials from the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government, I do not want to go too much into the adaptation grants because in some senses part of the Chair's report will be about much bigger items than that.
