- Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016: Report Stage (15 Dec 2016)
David Cullinane: -----and Dublin. The Minister spoke about rent pressure zones, but the entire State is a rent pressure zone. Just because certain areas do not meet the Minister's benchmark and the criteria he puts in place does not mean there is not rent pressure in all parts of our country. There certainly are rent pressures in Waterford. To return to the Waterford phrase of calling a spade a spade,...

- Other Questions: Garda Strength (16 Dec 2016)
David Cullinane: One of the consequences of not having enough officers in each division is that the Garda must make choices in allocating resources. The Tánaiste will be aware that the numbers in the drugs units dropped from 2010 right up to this year: in one division in Cork from 34 to 22; in another division in Cork from 32 to 21; in Waterford from 15 to five, which is a reduction of 66%; and in...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: Irish Water and Commission for Energy Regulation (12 Jan 2017)
David Cullinane: With the Chairman's indulgence I would like, if possible, to use my five minutes to put a number of questions to the witnesses and to then have them answered because the answers I get will determine my follow-up questions. I do not want to put a whole series of questions. That is not a good use of my time. Other people can include preambles to their questions or make political statements...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: Irish Water and Commission for Energy Regulation (12 Jan 2017)
David Cullinane: I should have taken the five minutes earlier and come in a second time, but we are where we are. My first question is to Ms Rooney. She talked about revenue and cost controls, both operational and capital. Are domestic water meters operational or capital costs?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: Irish Water and Commission for Energy Regulation (12 Jan 2017)
David Cullinane: My next question is to Dr. McGowan. In response to a previous question on his commentary about another phase of rolling out domestic water meters, he said that in the context of the expert commission's report, it would not be prudent to proceed with another roll-out because it has proposed, by and large, that domestic water would be provided by general taxation. That is his position. Has...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services: Irish Water and Commission for Energy Regulation (12 Jan 2017)
David Cullinane: However, the CER has formed an opinion that, to use Dr. McGowan's words, it could be parked. There would obviously either be a saving or an additional cost.
