Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Urban Regeneration: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Jan 2022)

Cian O'Callaghan: My first question is for TU Dublin and concerns TOD. We have seen a lot of damage done in the past by really poor speculative rezonings outside of towns and urban centres.

Cian O'Callaghan: I have a related question for NESC. Has it or anyone else analysed transport infrastructure funding and investment to see how well or otherwise it aligns with housing demand and projected population growth? Sometimes it does not align.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (19 Jan 2022)

Cian O'Callaghan: I want to ask the Taoiseach about an issue of Government co-ordination with regard to what it is doing to tackle vacancy and dereliction. In Ireland right now, more than 9,000 people are homeless and at least 90,000 homes are vacant. That is a conservative estimate as the census put the figure for empty homes at more than 180,000.
