Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (22 Feb 2023)

Carol Nolan: As the Taoiseach will be aware, earlier this week, it was reported that the independent energy operator Pinergy is to offer customers a very welcome 7.1% reduction in electricity costs. This will equate to an average reduction of €183 per customer. This has clearly shown us that the other energy companies have nowhere to hide. In the event that the other energy companies do not give...

Eviction Ban Bill 2022: Second Stage [Private Members] (22 Feb 2023)

Carol Nolan: Before I begin, I wish to declare an interest. My husband and I jointly own a property and are landlords. For a policy to be deemed a success, it must be the case that the solutions it proposes do not bring about a worse state of affairs. This is common sense. However, I fear that we are in real danger of creating such a toxic environment for landlords that we may be indirectly making...

Housing and Evictions: Motion [Private Members] (21 Feb 2023)

Carol Nolan: This motion makes it very clear the Government has lost all control of housing. In Offaly there are just 11 homes available in the entire county and most of those are outside the reach of what most people and, indeed, families can afford. In a town the size of Tullamore, with a population of approximately 14,600 people, there are just three houses for rent at present. In Birr, which has a...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Feb 2023)

Carol Nolan: I want to raise with the Taoiseach the lack of services for neurology patients. Before I begin, I acknowledge the great work that has been done by an advocate and, indeed, a patient of neurology herself, Dr. Rosie Mangan, from County Offaly. Rosie attends hospital, and has to travel to Dublin four times a week. She is an advocate, as I say, and has launched a campaign, Right to Rehab. I...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Feb 2023)

Carol Nolan: I thank the Taoiseach for his reply. I want to acknowledge the work done by Senator Victor Boyhan, who brought forward an excellent motion on this issue in the Seanad. There is cross-party support. Deputies in all parties, as I said, have raised this, as have Senators. It is something that has to be got to grips with. The Taoiseach mentioned that the budget provides for funding for...

Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Bill 2023: Second Stage (14 Feb 2023)

Carol Nolan: I have been raising matters related to the issue we are discussing, veterinary medicines, for a number of years. My concern has been that it would damage the rural economy if the proposal not to allow responsible persons to prescribe all medicines were to go ahead. That system has worked well for many years given that the responsible persons were knowledgeable and understood farmers' needs....

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (9 Feb 2023)

Carol Nolan: As the Minister knows, many families are grappling with the cost of living, especially the cost of fuel. There is huge anxiety and concern about the fuel costs that motorists, farmers and hauliers, who cannot plan for the future, are paying at present. Will the Government extend the excise duty reduction we currently have? We are hearing mixed messages from the Government. It appears the...

Mortgage Interest Relief Scheme: Motion [Private Members] (8 Feb 2023)

Carol Nolan: I welcome the opportunity to speak during this important debate. I support the call in the motion for Government to introduce timely, targeted and temporary mortgage interest relief to support homeowners facing significant increases in their mortgage costs. I also support the call on Government to work with the Central Bank to enhance the supervision of vulture funds in the interests of...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Schools Building Projects (2 Feb 2023)

Carol Nolan: I thank the Minister for her response and her commitment to ensuring the project gets over the line. As she stated, conveyancing is at an advanced stage and that is certainly welcome. I have been raising this issue on the floor of the House not just last year or the year before that but for many years and I am committed to seeing it over the line. However, an information vacuum still...
