Eoin Ó Broin: Let us say the May 2019 deadline is met and that there is a transitional period. Is Mr. Laffey saying the issue is not whether the Government would give extra capital of €200 million or €300 million and then €100 million annually but the question of his organisation not having the capacity to take on the extra investment? Its capacity means that it would have to do it...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (21 Mar 2018)
Eoin Ó Broin: Would that mean, for example, that work to upgrade the 38 agglomerations that are falling foul of the urban wastewater treatment directive would take longer, or would pipe upgrades in the public water system take longer? I presume that would be a logical outcome.

Eoin Ó Broin: I commend the speedy response and bravery of the men and women of the Dublin Fire Brigade in dealing with last night's hotel fire Ballymun. It is thanks to them, the Garda and other emergency and council staff, as well as the staff of the hotel and the adjoining building, that there were neither injuries nor fatalities.

- Leaders' Questions (22 Mar 2018)
Eoin Ó Broin: I understand why the Tánaiste is so sensitive on this issue because Rebuilding Ireland was his plan. He signed off on a document which contained not a single target over its six years for a single purchase for a rental affordable unit. As everybody knows, phone calls will not solve the affordable housing crisis. Affordable homes will. I will ask the question again. How many...
