Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Rail, Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus: Chairpersons Designate (25 Oct 2017)

Kevin Humphreys: I am a little bit concerned by Mr. Allen's answer. I am aware of the three sites. I am also aware of several other sites in which there is an interest such as North Lotts and Connolly Station. When the company is looking for investment into the railway, which is badly needed, there is a need to review the company's land. As a result of the pressure for housing within the city, to be able...

Kevin Humphreys: On the topic of the €100 million investment that we are talking about, we do not know what income will be generated from property development.

Seanad: Order of Business (8 Nov 2017)

Kevin Humphreys: Yesterday, I was on the picket line with Irish Rail workers. I listened to their frustration over the lack of proper engagement by management in this industrial dispute. As we are heading towards Christmas, we may be looking at further days lost in the workplace due to the lack of proper engagement by management. I also spoke to many commuters across the city who spent hours in traffic...

Seanad: Order of Business (9 Nov 2017)

Kevin Humphreys: I echo the comments of Senator McDowell in respect of the issue he raised. While Members might have had a little giggle at the end of his contribution, it is important.

Seanad: Housing and Rental Market: Statements (14 Nov 2017)

Kevin Humphreys: I, too, thank the committee for the work it has done. This is a very important matter which many Members have raised several times. That is why I was so anxious for it to be debated, as many people had put much hard work into it. I want to get away from the use of Airbnb because we are talking about short-term lettings. If anybody were to google it, he or she would very quickly find...

Seanad: Housing and Rental Market: Statements (14 Nov 2017)

Kevin Humphreys: I offer the Minister of State my Bill. The easiest way to do it is for the platform to keep the register, not the individual.

Seanad: Order of Business (16 Nov 2017)

Kevin Humphreys: I thank the Leader for organising the debate on the report on Airbnb and the effect it is having. He always tries to respond to requests as quickly as possible.

I again call for such a debate to be organised. Could we possibly look...
