Local Authority Housing Maintenance and Repair: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (28 May 2024)

Cian O'Callaghan: The Minister spoke about legal obligations on local authorities in this regard. That is relevant but if the funding model for social housing and maintenance is not fixed, we will continue to have this problem.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 May 2024)

Cian O'Callaghan: I ask about investment funds buying up housing. Early this year, 85% of new-build homes in Belcamp Manor were bought up by a fund.

Dentistry Services: Motion (22 May 2024)

Cian O'Callaghan: I thank my colleague Deputy Shortall for her work in bringing forward this motion. It is very disappointing that the Minister for Health is not here and that the second junior Minister who has just come to join this debate is not connected to the Department in any way.
