- Ceisteanna - Questions: National Economic and Social Council (26 Apr 2023)
Paul McAuliffe: The NESC report deals with the issue of homeownership. It is why I am pleased this Government has brought forward so many proposals which will seek to increase the level of homeownership and provide an increase in social and cost-rental housing.

Paul McAuliffe: Gabhaim buíochas leis na hAirí. This series of meetings has been going on for some time. It is very much focused on the implementation of Housing for All.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Housing for All: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Resumed) (25 Apr 2023)
Paul McAuliffe: I will go back to the implementation of Housing for All. As I have said, it is not the officials in Dublin City Council or in the Minister's Department who will ultimately be held to account by the public for this, but the Minister, me and many others. While I am not being adversarial with officials, that is why I want to try to get more transparency about the decisions that are made. I...

- Organised Crime: Statements (20 Apr 2023)
Paul McAuliffe: I am sure the Minister will disagree with some of the points made by Deputy Tóibín, particularly with regard to the numbers. Facts are sometimes inconvenient, however. I will let the Minister correct some of those points.
- Organised Crime: Statements (20 Apr 2023)
Paul McAuliffe: The key point is that the Deputy referred to figures for a certain period. One can be selective in picking particular periods. I agree with Deputies Tóibín and Shanahan that drugs seem to be the engine of the organised crime industry. That is because there is huge money to be made on the sale of drugs. We have seen infiltration by the drugs industry in many different...
