Regulation of Providers of Building Works Bill 2022: Second Stage (20 Jan 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the Minister for his opening remarks. As the Minister said, defects and shoddy building work continues to impact tens of thousands of private homeowners and social and private rental tenants across the State. Today's news about the additional cost to taxpayers arising from building practices in our public schools once again confirms not only the legacy of light-touch building...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Land Development Agency: Chairman Designate (20 Jan 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: I confirm that I am in Leinster House. First of all, I wish Mr. O'Rourke good luck in his new role. Notwithstanding Sinn Féin's very strong criticisms of both the legislative and policy underpinnings of the LDA, we genuinely wish him very well in the very challenging job that he has ahead. We look forward to working with him. I suspect his chief executive quietly breathed a sigh of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Land Development Agency: Chairman Designate (20 Jan 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: Can I just cut across Mr. O'Rourke? I agree with Mr. O'Rourke that CPOs should be a last resort. However, surely his previous experience shows that getting agreement is often easier when the threat of CPO is in his back pocket than when he does not have the threat there at all. My argument is not for more CPOs, but to give him that bit of a stick to make the carrot work more efficiently.

Eoin Ó Broin: I could see the strain on Mr. O'Rourke’s face when he went through the rigours of the public spending code. I share his pain about the dead hand of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform on housing delivery. I would like to follow up on three of the themes we have been discussing with Mr. O'Rourke. As Mr. O'Rourke will know, turnkeys are not just purchases of completed...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Land Development Agency: Chairman Designate (20 Jan 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: The point made by Deputy Boyd Barrett it is one of the most fundamental issues in this debate. It frustrates me that the point he correctly makes continues to be misunderstood. I will go back over it with Mr. O'Rourke, for the benefit of those of us who have been dealing with it for a long time. We all know what cost-rental housing is. The rents are set at the full-cost recovery of the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Land Development Agency: Chairman Designate (20 Jan 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: Mr. O'Rourke is absolutely right. We will not get 60-year finance from the EIB or the Housing Finance Agency, HFA, but what we can do, as has been done with the Enniskerry Road project, is get EIB financing funnelled through the HFA for 40 years. The State can also provide soft loans upfront, which only fall due after the 40 years and can then be extended for another ten or 20 years again....
