Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Apr 2019)

Dara Calleary: Last week, I raised the issue of the so-called cuckoo funds, which are basically large corporate funds in receipt of tax incentives that are buying out complete housing and apartment developments before they can go on general sale or, in the case of a development I mentioned last week, even where booking deposits have been made. The deposits in question were subsequently returned. In this...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Apr 2019)

Dara Calleary: If the Tánaiste needs reminding, this is a practice that has removed from the market thousands of units, and equivalently thousands of houses, which could have been available to first-time buyers in 2018. Three thousand units might have been available to hard-working families who are struggling to get on the housing ladder and 3,000 units might have made a commute a lot shorter for...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Apr 2019)

Dara Calleary: I assure the Tánaiste that there is no mix-up. Some 3,000 apartments and houses built last year could have been acquired by families and first-time buyers but were instead acquired by funds. The Tánaiste knows we have a housing crisis. A time of crisis is not a time to be re-engineering the housing market.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Apr 2019)

Dara Calleary: These funds are buying the apartments and, to use the Tánaiste's phrase, they are "adding to supply" on the basis of the very cosy tax arrangements available to them. If the Government put tax or cosy arrangements in place for people who want to build homes for families, they would redirect their investment towards homes as opposed to investing in corporate units and thereby adding to...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 Apr 2019)

Dara Calleary: Is it not time to re-examine the taxation model and decide to put money into increasing the supply of homes as opposed to corporate units that add to corporate profit? The latter is what is happening. Some 3,000 units are involved. There were 295 in Leopardstown that would have been available to families. This is also the case in Dundrum and Citywest. They could have been bought by...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (18 Apr 2019)

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Health Services Funding (18 Apr 2019)

Dara Calleary: I welcome the Minister for Thursdays to the Chamber. I am grateful to the Ceann Comhairle for selecting this issue. I am joined by Deputy Eugene Murphy as my question also relates to Roscommon and County Galway. I understand that HSE management in CHO 2 in Galway, Mayo and Roscommon are planning a range of curtailments of services, including the cancellation of 20 agency staff contracts...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Health Services Funding (18 Apr 2019)

Dara Calleary: I am afraid the response confirms all our fears. It is extraordinary. The HSE recruited for positions in 2018. The reason it recruited was because of extraordinary waiting lists but it did not plan for the resources of those extra positions during the 2019 budget. What kind of dummies are doing the accounts here? That is basic accounting. When one expands a service, one resources it to...
