Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (4 May 2022)

Mary Lou McDonald: Undoubtedly, all the documentation, the publication of which I welcome, will be studied, scrutinised and considered very carefully. However, I raised with the Taoiseach the ownership of the land and he has responded by reminding us we are looking at a 300-year lease at a cost of €10 per year. That begs the question as to why lease on those terms and why did the Sisters of Charity...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (4 May 2022)

Mary Lou McDonald: Maternity care and healthcare for women has for too long been an afterthought and even taboo in this State.

He will do it despite the...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (27 Apr 2022)

Mary Lou McDonald: The Residential Tenancies Board, RTB, published its quarterly rent index this morning and it shows again that the Government's housing policy is failing dismally. In fact, it makes for fairly devastating reading, particularly for those in housing need and for those who now have their lives defined by this never-ending housing crisis. The report tells us that rents have doubled since 2011 -...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (27 Apr 2022)

Mary Lou McDonald: We seem to be going around in circles here. The Taoiseach does not dispute the facts in the report from the RTB as presented this morning. I am assuming he does not contest the fact that rents are out of control right across this State, that people are struggling to make these rents, that house prices continue to climb and climb or that homelessness is again at crisis proportions. All of...
