- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Policy (8 Oct 2025)
Rory Hearne: Will the Minister update us on the plans to deliver the social housing projects via public-private partnerships? I understand that there are legal issues in relation to those. Is there any progress on that, particularly around the projects in Ballymun and Whitehall in my own constituency and elsewhere in Dublin? What is the status of those social housing projects? When will they be...

Rory Hearne: Perfect.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Policy (8 Oct 2025)
Rory Hearne: There was a very clear commitment in the 2020 Fianna Fáil manifesto in relation to holding a referendum on housing. I cannot remember whether it was in Fine Gael’s manifesto as well, but I think there was a commitment around it in the 2020 programme for Government. There was also a Seanad motion passed calling for a referendum on the right to housing and a constitutional change...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Policy (8 Oct 2025)
Rory Hearne: It is very disappointing to hear that. We are in a housing crisis and housing emergency now for well over a decade. One could argue in some respects that we have been in a housing crisis since the 1990s. House prices have been on the rise, then we had the crash, and now we are back into rising and unsustainable house prices. There is still something fundamentally wrong with our housing...

- Financial Resolutions 2025 - Financial Resolution No. 5: General (Resumed) (8 Oct 2025)
Rory Hearne: As a new TD, I am shocked by the lack of Government Ministers and TDs on the benches opposite. This is a debate about the budget. What is happening is absolutely farcical.
- Financial Resolutions 2025 - Financial Resolution No. 5: General (Resumed) (8 Oct 2025)
Rory Hearne: The Government talks about wanting to hear views and ideas from the Opposition, but its Ministers and TDs do not even bloody bother to turn up in the Dáil to listen. The Minister of State is the only one here. It is an absolute disgrace, but in some ways it is not surprising. It is just a continuation of the cynical and misleading actions of the Government during the election...
- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (9 Oct 2025)
Rory Hearne: In this budget, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael once again showed that they put generation rent behind the developers and investor funds, which were completely prioritised. During the election campaign, they never said that their big idea was going to be a tax-cut giveaway of up to €500 million a year to wealthy developers and funds. Today, the Government's developer VAT cut has been...
