Child Poverty and Homelessness: Motion [Private Members] (24 Sep 2025)

Eoin Ó Broin: What does this Government have against children? Despite the enormous resources at its disposal, thousands upon thousands of children are being left behind every year.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage: Affordable Housing: Discussion (23 Sep 2025)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the witnesses for their presentations. Excuse the frustration in my voice but some of the ways in which the information from the Department is being presented to the committee are not factually accurate.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage: Affordable Housing: Discussion (23 Sep 2025)

Eoin Ó Broin: Does Ms Behan not understand? I apologise for cutting across but, like Deputy McGrath, my time is limited. Does Ms Behan not accept that, if this means a so-called affordable purchase home is €400,000, we have a problem? Would it not be better to start with the all-in delivery cost of the unit, as we do with cost rental, and try to provide a real discount rather than artificially...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage: Affordable Housing: Discussion (23 Sep 2025)

Eoin Ó Broin: That is the second issue I want to move onto. I again apologise for being a little rude. It is only because the time is tight.

Is the Department tracking the number of people who are...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage: Affordable Housing: Discussion (23 Sep 2025)

Eoin Ó Broin: I know that but, of the cohorts for whom these schemes are available, let us focus on lower, middle and higher incomes within the income brackets. Is the Department actually checking the extent to which there is a growing percentage of people who cannot access these schemes because the prices to rent or buy are too high? Is the Department even examining that? It is a yes-no question.
