Paul McAuliffe: That would place significant resource implications on the local authority with rolling registers and so on. We should take that into account and I imagine that there are also General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR, and data protection concerns that would need to be ironed out.

Covid-19 (Social Protection): Statements (28 Jan 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: I am sharing time with Deputy Ó Cathasaigh. I have a number of questions for the Minister but I will begin by responding to the claims by both the Labour Party and Sinn Féin regarding the waiving of the tax liability for people on the PUP and those whose employers received the employment wage subsidy scheme. Both parties are showing blatant hypocrisy because they are not equally...

Covid-19 (Social Protection): Statements (28 Jan 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: While I appreciate that the Minister of State recognises the dual role and the fact that many CE schemes provide a community service, I believe some CE schemes are providing State services. A Meals on Wheels service is not equivalent to a CE scheme in a football club, GAA club or community hall. It is, and should be, a direct front-line service provided by the State. In many ways we are...

Response of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage to Covid-19: Statements (28 Jan 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: I am thinking of the many people in my constituency who have approached me about the issue of affordable housing, some of whom may be tuning into this debate this afternoon. They can see Opposition spokesperson after Opposition spokesperson getting angrier than one another during their slots, which are the right length for Facebook, in order to get a video. They gesticulate at the Minister...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (29 Jan 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: Deputy Catherine Murphy said much of what I wanted to say. There is a clear need for the committee to examine this matter because of the likely questions and lines of questioning we will have in subsequent years on decisions of this nature. Work in this area that does not infringe on the policy issues around pay that the Joint Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Homelessness: Discussion (29 Jan 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank all the witnesses participating today. It is probably important to point out that while this item has been on our work plan for some time, the "RTÉ Investigates” programme that was aired recently has focused the minds of the public on it. The stories of Joe, Natalie and Dan show the complexity with which Ms Leahy, Dr. Burns and many others in the homeless sector have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Homelessness: Discussion (29 Jan 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: I appreciate those comments. Mr. Kenny has given a commitment to the committee on the local connection not being a barrier, and he has also committed to publishing the inspection reports. Is that correct?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Homelessness: Discussion (29 Jan 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: Can I move on to two issues, namely, the one-bed units and HAP. The one-beds units are crucial to resolving this issue. All of us know that. We are aware of very successful cases in which homeless people have been placed in senior citizen complexes, particularly in the Dublin City Council area. Will the city council use the new single-stage approval process, for up to €6 million,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of Electoral Reform Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Feb 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank Dr. Suiter and Dr. Reidy for being with us today. This is a little bit like the bus we have all been waiting for and now that it has arrived we want it to be the best response to what we have been waiting on for a long time. At a previous meeting with the Department, I acknowledged the importance of this legislation, the delivery of it and the work that took placed in the Department...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of Electoral Reform Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Feb 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: I will take less time, to allow Senator Boyhan in. We have dealt quite extensively with all the implications of the different tools within a campaign. Many of them become less significant when we have a ban on corporate donations because the potential for advertising to go the way of the United States of America is perhaps less important, although still significant. The Minister has...
