Pádraig O'Sullivan: It is great that existing insurers are willing to take greater risks and broaden the number of products they are offering people. That will be most welcome. I read an article by Charlie Weston yesterday in which it was stated there has been a 35% decrease in the number of claims and the average award is down by 41%. Most of these major reforms were at the request of the industry. I...

Catherine Connolly: I understand that. The Minister has taken the trouble to read the reports. I understand the difficulties. Suggestions have been made by the Department of Finance to establish our own database. What progress has been made on that? Let me come back to the decision, which I welcome. Obviously, those concerned are operating in a policy vacuum. It has come from Dáil questions and...

Pearse Doherty: The Minister does not get this. He proceeded with one increase last month, which was the wrong thing to do at the wrong time again. Now he s planning for and has legislated for this increase in 70 days and legislated for a further increase two months later. It is not just those people who are struggling. It is not just the people who have to fill their tanks. Every time they put a litre...

Richard Boyd Barrett: 9 o’clock The vacant homes tax is a failure. We learned at the beginning of this year that only €2 million was raised from it and it applied to less than 3,500 properties. That is against a background where the census showed 160,000 vacant residential dwellings, 48,000 of which were vacant in both the 2016 census and the 2022 census. We then have about 20,000 derelict...

Pearse Doherty: From the figures the Minister has put on the record today, it is patently obvious that he has taken a very good idea from Sinn Féin, although he and his Government resisted it for quite a while. However, when he finally gave in, he made a mess of the design of it. The fact that despite there being 700,000 mortgage holders across the State, only 18,000 households have received the full...

Claire Kerrane: I met a member of the Defence Forces in my constituency office this week. He has two children with additional needs and his wife is their full-time carer. He has been in the Defence Forces for nearly 20 years. He is renting privately and is one of the fortunate ones in that his landlord has not increased the rent, not yet anyway. However, he understands the landlord will now sell the...

Rose Conway-Walsh: As we go around to canvass in Mayo, transport and public transport are among the biggest issues that come up. In addition to the lack of bus shelters and basic transport infrastructure, what comes up is the lack of interconnectedness between private and public operators and between city buses run by the likes of Bus Éireann, Citylink and GoBus and Iarnród Éireann services....

He has also spoken about how we have improved...
