Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 102: National Asset Management Agency Second Progress Report (20 Sep 2018) Catherine Connolly: I move to the issue of social housing. I, like Deputy Cassells, sat on a city council for 17 years. We saw the housing crisis building up. There was a housing crisis well before 2014. In fact, it deepened in 2013 or 2014 when the housing assistance payment, HAP, became the only game in town. That has nothing to do with NAMA except the more rented buildings that it makes available, the...

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 102: National Asset Management Agency Second Progress Report (20 Sep 2018) Catherine Connolly: I come from Galway city and sat on the city council there. Galway has a bigger crisis than Dublin. According to the most recent census, 49.9% of Galway people rent. There are no properties available, there is no public housing and there is a massive waiting list. By any stretch of the imagination we have a major crisis. What was NAMA's engagement with Galway city and county? Were they...

- Scoping Inquiry into the Cervical Check Screening Programme: Statements (19 Sep 2018)
Catherine Connolly: I thank the Deputy. I have many questions but little time. The audit was suspended. Will the Minister tell me the position on that and the implications of the suspension of that audit? Regarding the foreword addressed to the Minister in the form of a letter, Dr. Scally asks for an independent monitoring of his 50 recommendations. I do not see the Minister addressing that. He talked...
- Scoping Inquiry into the Cervical Check Screening Programme: Statements (19 Sep 2018)
Catherine Connolly: I welcome the opportunity to participate in this debate. I echo the comments that the time allocated to it is very short. I have read all 170 pages of the report and it would be helpful if Members had more time to go into its details. I welcome the comprehensive report and the blunt, clear language of Dr. Scally. He overstepped his brief, however, when he said we do not need a...

- Future of the Post Office Network: Motion (18 Sep 2018)
Catherine Connolly: As an Independent Deputy for Galway West, and with Galway being the county picked out to have the highest number of closures, I am trying to avoid despair at the decisions that were made. There are 18 closures in Galway city and county, from the Gaeltacht to east Galway, including Indreabhán, where the criteria do not match the population on the ground, which is way in excess of 500.
