Vote 34 - Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (24 Nov 2015)

Vote 34 - Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (24 Nov 2015)

Ruth Coppinger: May I make a suggestion? At the rate we are going, we will not get through the six members who have questions while the Minister is here. Three Ministers have come in and answered one question at length. Could we take questions from three or four members and then have them answered?

Vote 34 - Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (24 Nov 2015)

Ruth Coppinger: The Minister said that social housing continues to be a top priority. As we have very little time, I will focus on that topic. There is no evidence that social housing is a top priority. The Minister's figures are constantly shifting. I wish to clarify the spending figures. I have all of the data with me on the number of new social houses that are being produced. The Minister said...

Order of Business (26 Nov 2015)

Ruth Coppinger: I do not agree with this proposal. This is a proposal to discuss emergency measures in relation to housing, such as the modular housing proposal which is extremely controversial, in five minutes in the Dáil. That is effectively what is being proposed. We have already seen that the Government does not consider that we have a housing emergency but it is incredible to come to the...

Order of Business (26 Nov 2015)

Ruth Coppinger: We have already heard - it is coming out of local authority chambers - that these modular or prefabricated buildings, whatever one wants to call them, will probably cost more than actual houses and the Tánaiste expects to debate it in Dáil Éireann in five minutes. This is adding insult to injury to the thousands of homeless people or people on a housing list who are out there...

Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No.2) Bill 2012: From the Seanad (1 Dec 2015)

Ruth Coppinger: The grouping of the amendments is unfortunate because many of the key amendments that deal with huge sections of the Bill have been grouped together and we are forced in one contribution to deal with a range of matters. I do not know why it was decided to proceed in that way because there will be quite long speeches dealing with quite different points. We should start with what is not...
