- Social and Affordable Housing. (12 Dec 2006)
Fergus O'Dowd: Does the Minister of State agree that he has performed poorly in the supply of affordable housing, particularly under Part V? In view of the fact that approximately 90,000 houses will be built this year, the Minister of State should have told me that 18,000 affordable housing units will be coming on stream rather than the paltry 3,000 â welcome as they are â he has made available. Will...
- Social and Affordable Housing. (12 Dec 2006)
Fergus O'Dowd: The Minister of State is not fighting tooth and nail for the people of Dublin or for the young people in his constituency. They have been forced to leave the city and must commute to Dublin from outlying counties. They have long commutes resulting in work days of up to 12 to 14 hours. This is the position because the Minister of State is not fighting their corner and ensuring that land is...

- Water and Sewerage Schemes. (12 Dec 2006)
Fergus O'Dowd: I should point out that the question was misspelled. It should have referred to countywide, rather than countrywide, charges. I apologise in that regard. If counties have not completed their water metering programme, they do not have to apply the county at large charge in 2007. It is inequitable that the same circumstances do not apply in every county. Until it does, it can be deemed...
- Water and Sewerage Schemes. (12 Dec 2006)
Fergus O'Dowd: If the metering programme is not completed in a county, the consolidated county at large charge does not apply and businesses will therefore pay the same this year as they paid last year. However, where the metering programme has been completed, users in towns outside major urban areas which have a separate rating capacity now face a doubling in the charge they paid last year. Non-domestic...
