Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Local Authorities (1 Jul 2025)

Conor Sheehan: When will €5 million of funding be released for infrastructure at the Mungret site in Limerick?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Local Authorities (1 Jul 2025)

Is there a way he can frontload the delivery of the infrastructure fund to release the funding? As far as I understand, there was a proposal from the LDA that the €5 million shortfall would be added to the purchase price of the affordable homes, which...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Local Authorities (1 Jul 2025)

Conor Sheehan: I thank the Minister. From my point of view and that of the local authority, this entire project is essentially being held up because of €5 million, which is a very small sum of money in the grand scale of things. This project has been in planning since last year and was first announced in May 2024. We have had the highest percentage increase in house prices in Limerick in the past...

Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: IBEC Report on Infrastructure Ambition for a Competitive, Productive and Resilient Economy: Discussion (25 Jun 2025)

Conor Sheehan: I thank the witnesses. I have several questions. Do they believe the new planning and development legislation will address the legalistic nature of the planning system, which causes so many problems? Is the shortage of judges, for example, putting in place obstacles to getting judicial matters dealt with? With regard to the concept of a single entity with statutory powers to co-ordinate...

Nursing Homes: Motion [Private Members] (2 Jul 2025)

Conor Sheehan: My grandad was actually in one of these affected nursing homes in 2024. The Minister of State, Deputy O'Donnell, would know this nursing home very well. It backs onto our constituency. My grandad was there for over a week when he was discharged from hospital. He said the staff were lovely, and they were, but there were not enough of them evidently. He was often left to go to the...
