- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Housing Provision for Older People: Discussion (10 May 2022)
Paul McAuliffe: On the point of land zoning in Vienna that Ms Comer mentioned, obviously, the proposed system in Housing for All is for it to be planning permission connected with owner-occupied guarantee, which we do not yet have details of. It would be useful to have the details on both the owner-occupied guarantee and the 20% social and affordable housing in advance of us finalising that report. It...

You might have three minutes, Deputy Gould. I will try to squeeze you in if I can between Senator Seery Kearney and me, but I remind Members that we will have the organisations housing older people before us...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Housing Provision for Older People: Discussion (10 May 2022)
Paul McAuliffe: On the point about the private market, the supports are, of course, important but in many local authority places, there will be a liaison officer and, perhaps, a community room, and that might be the extent of the supports. What is more attractive is the size of the unit and the collective nature of it. There is an area in my locality known as Wadelei, which was privately built in the...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Housing Provision for Older People: Discussion (10 May 2022)
Paul McAuliffe: I thank Mr. Reid. We have 35 minutes remaining and seven groupings so I propose slots of five minutes each per group. It is likely that one or two groups will not be represented, and that is why I will allow a second round. People can decide themselves how to spend their five minutes, giving witnesses time to answer. Deputy Flaherty will take the first five minutes.

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (17 May 2022)
Paul McAuliffe: The Opposition was surprised at the timing of the Taoiseach’s visit to two countries on the edge of the Russian Federation at a time when it has invaded another one of its neighbours. I am not at all surprised and the timing was correct. Today's vote in the Finnish Parliament to join NATO, by 188 votes to eight, is a sudden move but it is understandable from a Finnish perspective....

It will include a primary care centre and an increase in all-weather sporting facilities along with 100 homes.
