Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Defective Building Materials (18 May 2023)

Eoin Ó Broin: It is ten months since the publication of the report of the working group on defective buildings.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Defective Building Materials (18 May 2023)

Eoin Ó Broin: All of us in opposition want to do that, but there is enormous frustration, not just on this side of the House but among homeowners living with the reality of defects in apartments, duplexes and houses. Some of those homeowners are now staging a protest outside the Dáil every week, not just from Citywest but from Ennis and elsewhere. While we understand the legislation has to be done...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Defective Building Materials (18 May 2023)

Eoin Ó Broin: My concern is that much of what the Minister has said is similar to what he said the last time I raised this issue at the end of last year. There was actually an expectation and inference from him that some of the funding for mitigation measures, which could include fire wardens or emergency remediation work could be available in early 2023. That has not transpired. Likewise, for example,...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Schemes (18 May 2023)

Eoin Ó Broin: I have a technical question. In a response on this issue earlier, the Minister indicated that the cost -rental subsidy would be available to approved housing bodies. He has not said that before so is that the case? Second, does the Government envisage on certain projects a combination of the cost-rental subsidy and, for example, the affordable housing fund, AHF, or the CREL to increase...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Mar 2023)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the witnesses for their submissions. I will direct my questions to Mr. Mandal in the first round and to Ms Foster and Mr. Heneghan in the second round to ensure there is adequate time to respond.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Mar 2023)

Eoin Ó Broin: Again, I thank everyone for their contributions today. I will make a couple of comments and then ask a general question to everyone. Much of our discussion is centred around urban residential development but actually the issues at hand are as pertinent to all kinds of development. We have had folks in on precisely those environmental issues like hedgerows and biodiversity but we have also...

Accommodation Needs for New Arrivals: Statements (23 May 2023)

Eoin Ó Broin: I welcome the opportunity to speak in this very important discussion. Like my colleague, Deputy Brady, I want to start by saying clearly that protesting outside the place where somebody lives is wrong, whether it is somebody's home, a reception centre or a tent on the street. There is simply no justification under any circumstances for such activities. Blockading people going to where they...
