Eoin Ó Broin: All I would ask the Minister to do, because these are positive developments, is to apply exactly the same framework agreement on a regional basis for the new builds.

One could have the same...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Rebuilding Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness: Discussion (Resumed) (27 Sep 2018)

Eoin Ó Broin: This is a factual question. A number of the local authorities as well as Mr. Brendan Kenny from Dublin City Council have said that past 2021, if they meet all of the social housing output targets, land is going to become a real issue for them. Some local authorities are in a better position than others. My concern is that if we max out all the land on the existing social housing output...

Home Building Finance Ireland Bill 2018: Report Stage (2 Oct 2018)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the Minister of State for that reply. In an ideal world, I would have liked to table these amendments to section 4, but because of the Ceann Comhairle's ruling, I was not able to do that. In some sense, placing them in this section of the Bill allows us to have the debate but also to go a step further. If I understand the Minster of State correctly, his indirect answer to Deputy...

Housing: Motion [Private Members] (3 Oct 2018)

I have some factual questions as Ms Hurley is not here to give her personal opinion but the information we...
