Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: BusConnects Bus Corridors Project: Discussion (12 Dec 2018)

Dessie Ellis: I went to many consultation meetings on metro north and we were told it would take something like 70,000 cars off the road on a weekly basis. I am sure that number would be even more.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: BusConnects Bus Corridors Project: Discussion (12 Dec 2018)

Dessie Ellis: I agree with what Deputy Shortall has said about the Swords Road. There is absolutely no doubt the proposal for dealing with this major problem will be very contentious. If it goes ahead, areas like Lorcan Drive and Shanrath Road will end up as rat-runs. That is just the first problem. Hart's Corner will be probably an even bigger problem to solve. That is why I am saying we should have...

No Consent, No Sale Bill 2019: Second Stage [Private Members] (29 Jan 2019)

Dessie Ellis: It is clear that vulture funds have no interest in reaching solutions with homeowners. They have no interest in restructuring loans or providing for interest only payments. The sale of distressed mortgages by banks such as Permanent TSB to vulture funds puts homeowners and renters in a very dangerous position that could result in large-scale repossessions. The Government has shown itself...
