Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (11 Apr 2019)

Eoghan Murphy: The amendment being ruled out of order has nothing to do with me or the Department. It is not true to say that landlords are free to set the rent at any level they like.

Building the Housing of the Future: Motion [Private Members] (10 Apr 2019)

Eoghan Murphy: How long would it take to build it, if we are being honest with ourselves and recognise the bureaucracy about which Deputy Penrose spoke?

Building the Housing of the Future: Motion [Private Members] (10 Apr 2019)

Eoghan Murphy: A Fine Gael led Government in a minority brought forward Rebuilding Ireland and this year will spend €2.4 billion on housing, more than any previous Government has spent. Labour held the housing brief until the middle of 2016, when it had a majority Government. Why did it not do any of these things when it had both the responsibility and the power to do so?
