Vote 28 - Foreign Affairs (30 Jun 2022) Brian Stanley: According to the UN, in 2020 alone 689 buildings were demolished, most of them homes. In 2021, it was reported that Irish aid to Palestine had been destroyed, including solar panels and tents. It is appalling that this would happen to people who are suffering already. That is the human aspect of it. The aspect we are discussing at this meeting is the Irish money and other EU funds that...

Brian Stanley: The Minister mentioned facts. Here are some facts. The percentage of young people under 35 who can buy their own homes halved between 2005 and 2015.

In County Offaly the average cost was...

What is the current update on this because this is important for Laois and the surrounding counties?
