They need these through the local authority disability and mobility adaptations...

Topical Issue Debate: Occupational Therapy (2 Mar 2017)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the Minister of State for the response. I have had all of that information for over a month, both in replies to parliamentary questions and from the HSE locally, so there is nothing new in what she said to me here today. It is very disappointing that the HSE has asked the Minister of State to present the results of the survey in the way in which it did. Not all surveys will be...

Leaders' Questions (9 Mar 2017)

Eoin Ó Broin: I wish to also express my deepest sympathy to the O'Brien family for the tragic loss of their three children and their sister in Clondalkin yesterday. Of the homeless families in Dublin, 60% have been in emergency accommodation for more than six months and 40% have been in bed and breakfasts, hostels or hotels for over one year. There are 138 families who have spent more than 18 months...

Leaders' Questions (9 Mar 2017)

Eoin Ó Broin: I know the Tánaiste has difficulty with housing statistics. She told the Dáil two weeks ago that 8,500 social houses were currently being built across the State but the Department of Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government's own figures clearly state that the figure is only 1,892. That is a very a big difference and I am sure the Tánaiste would like to correct the...

Questions on Promised Legislation (9 Mar 2017)

Eoin Ó Broin: The programme for Government promises a €42 billion capital investment programme. This includes investment in schools, hospitals, housing and infrastructure.

The Irish Congress of Trade Unions has estimated that this has cost the State...

Business of Dáil (9 Mar 2017)

Eoin Ó Broin: With respect to the proposition on the Joint Committee on the Future Funding of Domestic Water Services, there is simply no reason we should be delaying the work of the committee. We could have and should have finished this week. This is just kicking the can down the road because we cannot get an agreement between Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael. We are fundamentally opposed to this part of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government: Quarterly Progress Report Strategy for Rented Sector: Department of Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government (9 Mar 2017)

Eoin Ó Broin: I have three questions relating to Pillar 5. Could Mr. McCarthy give us an update on the timeline for the publication of the vacant homes plan? Is there any time left for those of us who might like to make submissions or is the Department close to completion and publication? When the Housing Agency appeared before us a few weeks ago, one of the issues that arose was progressing the...
