Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (30 May 2023)

Holly Cairns: At the weekend, the Taoiseach said that when it comes to housing policy, his highest priority is home ownership. I think lots of people, especially people of my generation, find that literally impossible to believe. Fine Gael in government has literally done the opposite to increasing home ownership. Not that anyone needed any more evidence of this but today, we have more of it from the...

Home Ownership: Motion [Private Members] (31 May 2023)

Holly Cairns: I thank Deputy Cian O'Callaghan and his team for their work on this motion. The Government claims to prioritise homeownership.

Do not take my word for it. The latest evidence of the Government's...

Nature Restoration Law and Irish Agriculture: Statements (31 May 2023)

Holly Cairns: A lot of the debate on this entire issue has been an exercise in grandstanding. Some politicians have seized on the nature restoration law and blatantly stoked up fears for their own benefit - not just Opposition parties and Independents but also Government backbenchers. Of course, they will have to try to be in favour of it in principle to tick the environmental credentials box, while...
