Aindrias Moynihan: I thank the witnesses for their presentations. I had a chance to listen in on some of it and read over documents as well. I will try not to go back over too much old ground.

There is such variety across the RPZ, from the edge of Cork city in Ovens right out to Gougane Barra which is in...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Registration of Short-Term Tourist Letting Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (1 Mar 2023)

Aindrias Moynihan: The same question applies to the other witnesses. Have they a recommendation on how they would deal with the issue of the RPZs? There is obviously a demand or huge pressure for housing in some areas. How would they approach the RPZs? If people are going to be pushed away from short-term letting, would they find going towards the long-term market attractive? What would make it attractive...

Aindrias Moynihan: I thank the witnesses for their submissions and their answers. I was listening in earlier. I will focus on two brief points.

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Report of the Commission on Taxation and Welfare: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Mar 2023)

Aindrias Moynihan: Before we move on from the issue of home heating, many people do not qualify for social welfare but they need their homes heated as well. To face into a €30,000, €40,000 or €50,000 conversion of the house is out of reach for many households, despite the grants. It is great to focus on those on lower income but there is a whole cohort of people who are not on social...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Report of the Commission on Taxation and Welfare: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Mar 2023)

Aindrias Moynihan: I will forego that response. One of the areas where there is common ground is that in farming, you often work on your own. When you are on the road, you are often on your own.
