Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Estimates for Public Services 2023
Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Supplementary Estimate)
(23 Nov 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: One of the things we wanted to see when we passed the legislation and delivered Housing for All was delivery. Some of the frustration around underspend stems from the desire to deliver what was intended in the legislation. I know from speaking to the Dublin housing delivery group and our local authorities that work is being done on all the vast array of schemes and different models of...

Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Supplementary Estimate)
(23 Nov 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: I am interested in a particular site in my own area near Charlestown. Fingal County Council has mooted that it would have some involvement in it. Does the Minister have any update on the mix there and what the likely offering will be?

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Estimates for Public Services 2023
Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Supplementary Estimate)
(23 Nov 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: That is one method of delivery. The other one is those sites that are owned by local authorities. The local authority is delivering affordable purchase properties on a large number of sites in the Ballymun area, and I welcome that. I am concerned about the Ballymun shopping centre site, which inevitably will have a significant housing element to it, because the retail will be on the ground...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Child Poverty (28 Nov 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: 3. To ask the Taoiseach if he will provide an overview on the report published by his Department on 14 November 2023 on how budget 2024 dealt with child poverty and child well-being. [50714/23]

Ceisteanna - Questions: Child Poverty (28 Nov 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: I too welcome the commitment when the Taoiseach took office to have a child poverty initiative and to have the report. We should note not only did the ESRI say the budget is progressive but it also went on to say it reduces the at-risk-of-poverty rates for most groups. However, we have to work on lone parents and those with disability in their family. There is more work for us to do there....

Paul McAuliffe: 14. To ask the Taoiseach if he will provide an update on the work of the policing reform implementation programme office in his Department. [52255/23]

Ceisteanna - Questions: An Garda Síochána (28 Nov 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: You cannot talk about the reform of policing without reflecting on the events of last week. The entire city rejects the thuggery, violence and property damage that occurred. I do not think those who organised the protest can escape culpability either. For whatever reason, the State was not in a position to respond adequately. I hear the Taoiseach say that the Garda Commissioner will have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Local and European Elections 2024 and Subsequent General Election: Discussion (28 Nov 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: I note it is Mr. O'Leary's second appearance at the committee in two weeks and I believe he was also at another committee the previous week. He is doing his best to stay in the room and is always welcome.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Local and European Elections 2024 and Subsequent General Election: Discussion (28 Nov 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: The first slot is Fianna Fáil's, which I will take. That is not an abuse of the Chair but our standard rota. I see the Chair arriving; he might take a seat and I will continue. After decades of the Electoral Commission being spoken about, many members were very pleased that this was one of the first legislative items we dealt with. It is very welcome and gives us an opportunity to...

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (6 Dec 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: That is unfair.

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (6 Dec 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: I have some sympathy with Deputy McNamara in trying to get to grips with a Bill that could be a small brick in a house, with considerable length and detail. As the Vice Chair of the Oireachtas housing committee, both I and other members, including Deputies Higgins and Matthews, have had the opportunity to consider this legislation at pre-legislative scrutiny for some time. Even with that,...
