Seanad: Commencement Matters: Social and Affordable Housing Eligibility (18 Dec 2018)

David Stanton: ...s basic need, plus a comparative analysis of the local rental cost of housing accommodation across the country. The limits also reflect a blanket increase of €5,000 introduced prior to the new system coming into operation in order to broaden the base from which social housing tenants are drawn and thereby promote sustainable communities. This increase has largely had the welcome...

Anti-Evictions Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (12 Dec 2018)

Richard Boyd Barrett: .... In 2021, we will move away from an over-reliance on HAP - I accept there is an over-reliance - to having people accommodated in the stock of social housing. That is right and it is part of our Rebuilding Ireland plan. The Government opposes the Bill. We support a number of measures in it and are progressing them. Other measures go too far and the Taoiseach was right to say that they...

Darragh O'Brien: ...is my concern about our over-reliance on the private rental market, particularly HAP. When does the Minister see the tipping point happening? When does he see it equalising based on his plans in Rebuilding Ireland? Two-thirds of people who deemed their housing needs were met this year did so as a result of housing assistance payment. Many of them are relatively short-term leases of 12...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Financing of Social Housing: Discussion (Resumed) (6 Dec 2018) See 3 other results from this debate

Mr. Conn Murray: Apologies. I misunderstood. In terms of the policy that we work under, all aspects of Rebuilding Ireland are worked on and delivered in order to provide appropriate accommodation for the people on our housing lists. It is a different debate as to whether that is long term or another tenure element. We will work to deliver on that in terms of whatever direction comes to...

Social Housing Bill 2016: Second Stage [Private Members] (22 Nov 2018) See 1 other result from this debate

Eoghan Murphy: ...a properly functioning housing market in this country, at least not since 2002. We have to get involved as a State and as a Government. We have to play an active role and do so for many years to come to meet the needs of different people in our country today. One thing that is clear at the moment, particularly as we look at the budget that has just passed for 2019, is that the...

Written Answers — Department of Housing, Planning, and Local Government: Local Authority Housing Eligibility (14 Nov 2018)

Eoghan Murphy: ...cost of housing accommodation across the country. It is important to note that the limits introduced at that time also reflected a blanket increase of €5,000 introduced prior to the new system coming into operation, in order to broaden the base from which social housing tenants are drawn, both promoting sustainable communities and also providing a degree of future-proofing. As part...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: European Monetary Policy: Exchange of Views with Mr. Mario Draghi (8 Nov 2018)

Mr. Mario Draghi: I am coming to that. I am sorry I am taking so much time. The Irish economy's performance is strong from all viewpoints - growth, employment, consumption and investment, and even housing is now rebounding. There are two sets of risks. One we have just discussed and the other is overheating. It would not be the first time. There are some legacy vulnerabilities,...

Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 10 - Funding and Oversight of Approved Housing Bodies
Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government
2017 Financial Statements - Housing Agency (25 Oct 2018)

Seán Fleming: ...how these schemes work. I know of couples who have split up, legally separated and sold the family home. They might have ended up with €20,000 having cleared the mortgage. However, under the Rebuilding Ireland home loan scheme, one of the parties must still live in the original house. I think I am correct in saying that. Under the scheme, a loan will be given to the person who...

Seanad: Update on Rebuilding Ireland: Statements (18 Oct 2018)

Damien English: ...for that. It is not something we want to do forever but it is something we have to do because we have to have houses today while we build the new ones. We are doing that. The early years of Rebuilding Ireland were focussed on harnessing existing capacity and more immediate solutions, such as working with the private sector in some cases, while in parallel progressing local authority and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Appropriate Use of Public Land: Discussion (17 Oct 2018) See 1 other result from this debate

Eoin Ó Broin: ...The agency has yet to make the case as to why it is better placed to do that than local authorities if they were properly funded and if they had various restrictions lifted from then, which I shall come to in a second. I also have to say that the tenure mix that the Mr. Coleman has proposed is not in line with either local requirements or housing need. I have detailed direct involvement...

Financial Resolutions 2019 - Financial Resolution No. 4: General (Resumed) (10 Oct 2018) See 4 other results from this debate

Jackie Cahill: I am the Fianna Fáil Party spokesman on agriculture, an industry that this Government has forgotten. It is the driving force of rural Ireland. In this budget there was only token recognition of the crisis in agriculture. A total of €20 million is being provided the suckler cow sector. If the Government thinks that will preserve our beef herd, it is sadly misinformed. We do...

Home Building Finance Ireland Bill 2018: Report Stage (2 Oct 2018)

Eoin Ó Broin: ...aid rules? My understanding is that it would not be but that point of clarity would be very useful. Second, it is about the Government's intention here. The Government's intention, as this loan facility has been presented, is to lend at potentially slightly higher commercial rates to builders than they would get from the mainstream banking finance, but because it would be a larger...

Engagement with Investment Funds: Motion [Private Members] (27 Sep 2018)

John McGuinness: ...not do, the Department and getting involved with a red herring. We are not talking about investment funds that make positive investments in the country; we are talking about vulture funds that come in to buy what is on the market at the lowest possible rate while treating people abominably. The Minister of State wishes to dress down the committee, saying we should ask representatives of...

...of the homelessness issue relate to the fact that people in Fingal are experiencing vulnerability with respect to lettings in the private rental sector. Approximately 70% of the people who come to our housing office find themselves in a homeless situation relating to a notice to quit. It is something we are working to address. I can give some summary numbers for our plan for the...

Michael D'Arcy: ...option. Deputy Boyd Barrett questioned the usefulness of it. It is useful and beneficial but it is not the defining piece that fixes it all. The fixing of the housing and construction sector in Ireland is multifaceted and there are many different options. My concern about this amendment is about builders not developers. There are some builders who still have small portions of land but...

Topical Issue Debate: Social and Affordable Housing Funding (12 Jul 2018)

Damien English: I thank the Deputy and I will take on board all the points he made. I will bring them back to our officials when the review comes back from the agency and we will look at what is assessable or not. He has raised a few issues that are worth looking at. I am satisfied that the current income limits and the current scheme are generally fair and equitable. I think people will agree that it is...

Mr. Wim Verbraeken: I thank the Chairman and the members of the committee for the invitation and opportunity to represent KBC Bank Ireland. I would like to introduce our delegation.

The committee has received...

Declan Breathnach: ...and told him how to solve the vacant dwelling housing issue. He was a Minister of my own party and I have no difficulty in saying so. Anybody in a local authority who was looking at this could see it coming down the road. Anybody in the old health board regimes could see that there was an incapacity to continue making payments. At that time, from the health board, there were payments...

Eoin Ó Broin: ...our debates in the Chamber on housing are becoming acrimonious. It is because the gap is growing ever wider between the Government's delivery in meeting housing needs and the rhetoric of Rebuilding Ireland. When Home Building Finance Ireland was announced in last year's budget I was taken by the idea that if done right it has the potential to be a positive contribution towards...
