Cian O'Callaghan: I move: "That the Bill be taken in Private Members' time."

Rental Sector: Motion [Private Members] (19 Oct 2021)

Cian O'Callaghan: I will start close to where Deputy Nash finished, namely, with the issue of tenancies of indefinite duration. I will certainly support such a measure when the Government brings it in. I was a member of the commission on the private rented residential sector approximately 20 years ago. I did not agree with the commission's decision to include a get-out clause in respect of the very limited...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (20 Oct 2021)

Cian O'Callaghan: I raise the issue of the National Asset Management Agency, NAMA, and the sale of homes to investment funds. Building defects do not explain why the homes in question - 26 apartments - were left empty for almost a decade. They do not explain the length of time involved. It should not take so long. The Government is not meeting its target for the delivery of cost-rental and affordable...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (20 Oct 2021)

Cian O'Callaghan: I raise the issue of safeguarding procedures for vulnerable adults. Recently, An Garda Síochána had detailed knowledge of credible allegations of sexual assault against vulnerable people experiencing homelessness. I have raised that with the Taoiseach before. The Garda did not pass this information on in a timely manner to the organisation where the alleged perpetrator worked....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Water Quality and Infrastructure: Environmental Protection Agency (14 Oct 2021)

Cian O'Callaghan: My question is about the audit of Ballymore Eustace plant. When Irish Water representatives came before this committee, they made the point that there are 800 water treatment plants around the country and that they could not know exactly what was happening in each plant. Ballymore Eustace is the largest water treatment plant in Ireland and serves 750,000 people in the greater Dublin area,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Water Quality and Infrastructure: Environmental Protection Agency (14 Oct 2021)

Cian O'Callaghan: Just for clarity, as far as the EPA is aware, was Irish Water unaware of the data or was Irish Water unaware that it should be monitoring the data?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Water Quality and Infrastructure: Environmental Protection Agency (14 Oct 2021)

Cian O'Callaghan: Irish Water was not aware it should have had a role in monitoring or assessing the data.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Oct 2021)

Cian O'Callaghan: I am not clear from the legislation as to how far from real legislation the marine planning guidelines could go, but if we are basing an assessment on other planning legislation and guidelines for land use, we know that planning guidelines can be very far-reaching. The Minister can be far-reaching in what he can do within the guidelines. There are not sufficient limitations. Public...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Oct 2021)

Cian O'Callaghan: It is a misunderstanding to think these amendments are suggesting what the Minister of State has said they are. It was stated that these would mean a correction of a typo would require public consultation. That is a bit of a stretch and nobody would suggest that these amendments would mean that the correction of a typo would require public consultation. The general understanding is that...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Oct 2021)

Cian O'Callaghan: The point we are trying to make is that it should be set out in the legislation. For quite a long Bill, it has only eight short sections on ministerial guidelines, which is a relatively small amount of text. They do not flesh the consultation process and what engagement should and must be done. The level of discretion the Bill leaves is the issue I am raising. I would be more than happy,...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Oct 2021)

Cian O'Callaghan: I am confused by this. The word "comply" is used in the text. How is it a guideline to help the decision-making process if-----
