2017 Financial Statements - Housing Agency (25 Oct 2018) Marc MacSharry: Even in that, it can take several years to get a judicial separation, never mind a divorce.

2017 Financial Statements - Housing Agency (25 Oct 2018) Marc MacSharry: Could the Department look at issuing a direction to local authorities that they must consider buying in former schemes? One example of which I am aware - I acknowledge that it might date from a couple of years back - relates to five houses in a local authority scheme that were available for possibly €130,000 and the relevant local authority buying a single house for €250,000.

2017 Financial Statements - Housing Agency (25 Oct 2018) Marc MacSharry: We do not mind being lambasted once we get delivery. If we could have five houses for the price of one, surely that is basic common sense. Surely the Department would be amenable to issuing directions along those lines.

2017 Financial Statements - Housing Agency (25 Oct 2018) Marc MacSharry: I am not disagreeing with the Chairman but I just think it would be great to have an element of consistency. If I had a choice of sleeping on Molesworth Street or in a house in a former local authority scheme, it would not take much thought on my part. We could have a national direction as opposed to superficial things involving Airbnb.

Marc MacSharry: Page 48 of the programme for Government seems to be missing from the Government copy because it outlines all the Government will do for the post office network. As the Government is aware 159 branches are closing. A total of 50 are gone and a further 100 will be gone by the end of the year. There is a further crisis in that approximately 60 have advertised looking for postmasters but only...

Marc MacSharry: What we have is a rigged process where the Government is allowing a third-party organisation, An Post and a trade union to wipe out rural communities nationwide. I have called out an independent review process that is totally rigged and flawed. I have put proof on the record of the House but I have had no answer from anyone across the floor on the matter.
