Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: New Retrofitting Plan and the Built Environment: Discussion (Resumed) (10 May 2022)

Réada Cronin: I thank the witnesses. I apologise for missing the start of the meeting. I had another meeting to attend.

Réada Cronin: -----Ukrainians who desperately need safety and security. Or has the Government let the cat of the bag that it thrives on and is obsessed by optics, gestures and cheap PR that cost the taxpayer and the people with no homes a fortune?

Accommodation Needs of Those Fleeing Ukraine: Statements (5 May 2022)

Rising Rental Costs: Motion [Private Members] (4 May 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: New Retrofitting Plan and the Built Environment: Discussion (26 Apr 2022)
