Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Rebuilding Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness: Discussion (17 May 2018)

Mick Barry: I have some questions about the compilation of the official national homelessness statistics. There was a huge surge coming into the new year. If the recategorisation to which the Minister referred had not taken place, the March figure would have increased to more than 10,000 for the first time in the history of the State. That would have been a real milestone, which would have resulted in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Rebuilding Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness: Discussion (17 May 2018)

Mick Barry: I have two questions. The first relates to rent pressure zones and the question of evictions. There is a 4% cap but, as we all know, there are landlords who are exploiting a loophole to get around that 4% cap. They are using the loophole of so-called substantial refurbishment as a way to jack up rents way beyond the 4%, evicting people in the process. One such example, of which the...

Education (Admission to School) Bill 2016: Report Stage (29 May 2018)

Mick Barry: Should schools, where necessary, be compelled to establish ASD units? Yes, they should. The situation on the ground speaks volumes as to why that is a necessary step. I cite the example of County Cork where we have 148 ASD classes in primary schools but a mere 55 ASD classes in secondary schools. That gap, approaching the 3:1 mark, is growing year on year. The situation in many other...

Education (Admission to Schools) Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) (29 May 2018)

The State should control the schools and there should be no...
