Priority Questions: Irish Water (24 May 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the Minister. As he knows, in May, Irish Water produced a report, although it did not publish it but selectively leaked aspects of it to a number of newspapers, which estimated that the cost of the abolition of Irish Water would be in the region of €7 billion.

Priority Questions: Social and Affordable Housing Expenditure (24 May 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: The context of the question is the Minister's remark that he is considering increasing the proposed number of rapid-delivery units from 500 to 1,000 in the coming year. One of the concerns many of us had when the rapid builds were first announced related to cost. My party is not against them on principle. If they get families out of inadequate and cramped emergency and hotel accommodation...
