Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (11 Oct 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: I have two very quick comments, which do not need a response, and then a question for both local authorities. We have to be careful not to accept that some of the tender prices the local authorities unfortunately have to sign up to are actually the real cost of building. As far back as 2019, Dublin City Council, through no fault of its own, was effectively having to sign contracts where a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (11 Oct 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (11 Oct 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: I know Dublin City Council always has to answer questions about homelessness but we should not let the county off the hook. What is the position in respect of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (11 Oct 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: I have a brief question in respect of self-accommodation. When someone is in crisis, presents as homeless and no emergency accommodation is available, suggesting that they then go and ring around hotels to self-accommodate is a particularly punitive thing. I do not mean that as a criticism but I note it considering the stress they are under. We had done away with that self-accommodation...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (11 Oct 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: That is not my point. My point is that for certain large complex jobs, which particularly affect the two local authorities before us, a very small number of building contractors are tendering for such projects. From all the information I have, the prices they quote for the build are higher than the cost of comparable private sector projects. That is a real problem but it is for another day.

Domestic Electricity and Gas Disconnections: Motion [Private Members] (18 Oct 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank my colleague Deputy O'Rourke for tabling this very important motion. As the Minister knows, I represent one of those constituencies that has a larger than average percentage of households on low or very modest incomes. I represent large urban areas where people are in poorly paid, precarious and part-time employment. Many of those people do not get to choose the type of energy...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Defective Building Materials (18 Oct 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: In July, I visited the home of Sharon Moss in Letterkenny, along with my colleagues, Deputies Mac Lochlainn and Doherty. Sharon's home is one of the worst defective block homes I have been in. The walls are crumbling and half of the house cannot be occupied. One would have to be there to experience the smell of damp and rot throughout the house. One would not allow a rat to live in a...
