Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Homeless Accommodation Provision (6 Feb 2014)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: It is fortuitous that this question is being raised in the aftermath of the point made by Deputy Clare Daly.

The problem for some is a difficulty in securing housing accommodation. Currently there are three hostels...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Homeless Accommodation Provision (6 Feb 2014)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: The Minister cannot come in here and absolve himself entirely of responsibility for those people who leave the Defence Forces and who will have been institutionalised in some respects with the result that they become homeless.

I have been directly involved with the local...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Air Accident Investigations (6 Feb 2014)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: I thank the Minister for again saying, as he has said explicitly in the past, that not one scintilla of blame for this accident can be attached to Cadet Jevens.
