National Marine Planning Framework: Motion (29 Apr 2021)

Eoin Ó Broin: The national marine planning framework is a document of enormous importance. It is a statutory plan that will shape the future of our marine, and all the people who use it, for a generation.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Engagement with the Office of the Planning Regulator (4 May 2021)

Eoin Ó Broin: I confirm I am present in Leinster House. I thank Mr. Cussen for his presentation. I share his concern about some of what I would describe as the attacks made recently on the Office of the Planning Regulator. I want to be very clear about the fact that Deputies and councillors have every right to criticise policy. That is what we are elected to do. What concerns me about the comments,...

Private Rental Sector: Motion [Private Members] (5 May 2021)

Eoin Ó Broin: I would be embarrassed to read a statement like the Minister of State's to the Oireachtas because it was filled with so many factual inaccuracies. He has said that his Government is giving local authorities enough funding to allow 25% of private rental properties to be inspected every year. In 2019, the year before Covid, only 10% of rental properties were inspected. In fact, the...

Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed) - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Social and Affordable Housing (5 May 2021)

Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed) - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Social and Affordable Housing (5 May 2021)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the Minister. The data to which I referred is from this year. He is absolutely correct about the average cost last year. The difficulty is that the origin of leasing is back in 2008, 2009 and 2010, when there was no capital funding. We know from a report published by the Irish Government Economic and Evaluation Service, IGEES, in 2018 that long-term leasing represents very bad...

Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed) - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Social and Affordable Housing (5 May 2021)

Eoin Ó Broin: Part of my concern is that, as we know, the Government's previous targets for leasing were always significantly behind. For example, 2,000 were to be delivered last year according to the target set the year before but, of course, only half of that figure was delivered. What has changed, however, is market sentiment. There has been a significant increase in the desire of institutional...
