Section 2 Report – Unauthorised Release of Funds from the Central Fund of the Exchequer (19 Jan 2023) Imelda Munster: On building up the total housing stock throughout the State, would it not make more sense for the State to take out an equity stake rather than providing loans? We would then be building up the housing stock. Would that not make more sense?

Section 2 Report – Unauthorised Release of Funds from the Central Fund of the Exchequer (19 Jan 2023) Imelda Munster: I did not catch all of the meeting but what struck me most of all from the first questioner, Deputy Hourigan, right through was the phrases "we are currently looking into that" and "we are looking to establish this". We are in the depths of a housing emergency and whether it is delays or the revolving acquisition fund or whatever questions the witnesses were asked, the answer was always that...

Section 2 Report – Unauthorised Release of Funds from the Central Fund of the Exchequer (19 Jan 2023) Imelda Munster: Mr. Harrington would accept that the evidence suggests there is a lack of expediency. The process is so drawn out. We hear from approved housing bodies how long it takes for departmental approval. They go through the Housing Agency in a relatively short time and then they have to duplicate that work which can take anything up to six months. The cost of construction is rising, so things...

Section 2 Report – Unauthorised Release of Funds from the Central Fund of the Exchequer (19 Jan 2023) Imelda Munster: I have just pointed out to Mr. Harrington that approved housing bodies have flagged that there is undue delay, that there is a reasonable turnaround with the Housing Agency, but then it goes to the Department and the whole rigmarole has to be gone through again and everything duplicated, leading to increased construction costs. This is all totally unnecessary in the midst of a housing...

- Written Answers — Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht: Sports Funding (18 Jan 2023)

Imelda Munster: 1. To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht further to Question No. 1 of 17 November 2022, if she will provide an update on whether the wide range of alternative options being explored by the Government will be made available in time for the reopening of hotels to tourists in summer 2023, and on the engagement carried out by her Department on the senior officials group,...

Imelda Munster: Further to Question No. 1 of 17 November 2022, will the Minister provide an update on whether the wide range of alternative options being explored by the Government will be made available in time for the reopening of hotels to tourism in summer 2023, and on the engagement carried out by her Department on the senior officials group, including a copy of or details of the concerns she...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Tourism Industry (26 Jan 2023)
Imelda Munster: As the Minister said, the Irish Tourism Industry Confederation compiled a report that revealed that more than one in five tourist beds in Ireland are contracted by the State. That is 22% of the country's tourism accommodation capacity, including 15% of hotel rooms, to provide shelter for those fleeing Ukraine and the thousands of other asylum seekers from other countries. The fear is that...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Tourism Industry (26 Jan 2023)
Imelda Munster: From the start, hotel accommodation was seen as a short-term solution. It is not an ideal medium-to-long-term solution for the families involved. We are six weeks away from when the tourism season starts. The Minister is not responsible for sourcing accommodation, and I am not for one moment saying she is, but she is responsible for the tourism sector. Apart from the OPW's 200 rapid-build...
- Interim Report on Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Statements (26 Jan 2023)
Imelda Munster: The Minister of State said earlier that it was important that parents are reassured that their children get the care and support they need. I start by retelling a nightmare story endured by a family over the past 11 days. It is one of hundreds of stories that have happened under the watch of the Government. It is a story about a father and his 16-year-old child. It started on Monday, 16...

Chapter 7: The Housing Agency’s Revolving Acquisition Fund (26 Jan 2023) Imelda Munster: On the €633,000 figure for one property, be it one-, two- or three-bedroom, can the witnesses say definitively that the Minister has not been made aware of it? Did the witnesses have discussions with him or did anyone in the Department say that this PPP is €632 million so we would get 1,000 homes which works out at €633,000 per home?
