- Joint Oireachtas Committee On Key Issues Affecting The Traveller Community: Traveller Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Oct 2019)
Colette Kelleher: I will attempt to sum up some of the issues that arose in the questions. The importance of early intervention and prevention was stressed, as was the importance of an ethnic identifier. There was a contrast between people going to a GP and accessing mental health services. The importance of culturally sensitive and culturally appropriate services and supports was mentioned, and there was...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of Land Development Agency Bill 2019: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2019)
Colette Kelleher: I will first put my questions to the ESRI but there may be some crossover with the NESC. The ESRI stated land costs are a substantial portion of the overall cost of building homes and came down strongly on the site tax. Does the institute believe such a measure needs to sit alongside any legislation relating to the Land Development Agency and that it is a necessary part of the package? I...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of Land Development Agency Bill 2019: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2019)
Colette Kelleher: I am also interested in the type and the equation. A total of 10% of social housing seems to be a bad deal, given the large size of the giveaway. There is also the question of what is affordable. A great debate is ongoing about whether €310,000 is affordable but I do not believe that it is for people on an average wage. What are our guests' views on the definition of "affordable"?...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of Land Development Agency Bill 2019: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2019)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of Land Development Agency Bill 2019: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Oct 2019)
Colette Kelleher: I refer to the types of housing in question. We have had trouble in the past with ghost estates, which were built in places where nobody wanted to live. How do we make sure that not only is housing affordable, with security of tenure and a stable price over time, but also that we build the right type of housing in the right place? Do the witnesses have any comments on that?
