Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Homelessness: Discussion (5 Mar 2024)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Homelessness: Discussion (5 Mar 2024)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Homelessness: Discussion (5 Mar 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: I would not mind getting this on the record, particularly in terms of Housing First. One of the things that we come across all the time is that when housing developments are proposed, everybody says there are too many one-bedroom units. What is the breakdown of people who exit homeless accommodation who need one-bedroom units? With regard to the progress on Housing First, it was based on...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (20 Mar 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: It would be remiss of me not to wish An Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar, all the best as he resigns and embarks on a new chapter in his life. It is always a big day in the Houses of the Oireachtas when a Taoiseach resigns, and we were all taken aback today by the resignation of Leo Varadkar. Even though he and I come from opposite ends of the political spectrum, he was always a politician of...

Seanad: Road Traffic Bill 2024: Second Stage (21 Mar 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: I thank the Minister of State. I welcome the introduction of this Bill as a step towards achieving a reduction in road deaths and, I hope, greater public safety on our roads. The importance of the Bill cannot be overstated at this moment as we have seen a 19% rise in road deaths in the past five years. It represents 184 lives lost, 180 families affected and 184 communities devastated by...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (11 Apr 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: I welcome Senator O’Hara. That was a very powerful first speech to the Seanad. I know he will make a great addition and be a great voice in this Chamber over the next year. I also pay tribute to Niall Ó Donnghaile. His absence is a huge loss to this Chamber. I hope to see him back in political life in some form in the years to come. He has very important perspectives and I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Discussion (23 Apr 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: I thank all the witnesses for their presentations. It is clear where all the experts in this area who deal with local authorities every day sit. This is a case of taking a hammer to crack an egg. It is unworkable and provides for bad assessment criteria. I recall during the great snow of 2010 people were refused access to longer-term emergency accommodation over the two weeks because they...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Discussion (23 Apr 2024)

Rebecca Moynihan: Can Ms O’Reilly come back in? She just talked about returning Irish. Many people have been affected by the social welfare system, for example, and not meeting the HRC. How would that impact on returning Irish who may be impacted by low pay? Does she have any idea of the numbers of people who are currently applying for social housing when they return and going on the social housing...
