An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Mar 2022)

Imelda Munster: On International Women's Day 2022, women who experience domestic violence and abuse are still being turned away from refuges. In fact, nine counties throughout the State do not have any domestic violence refuge at all. The Minister for Justice, Deputy McEntee, said there would be extra places by the end of the year, but women cannot wait that long. When will women be a priority for the...

Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Home Building Finance Ireland - Financial Statements 2020 (3 Mar 2022)

Imelda Munster: Ms Deering touched on the strategic decision regarding setting up the momentum fund. I was not clear about that, and I may have missed some of it. Did the decision come from the Minister? Ms Deering did not quite clarify that point. Was the decision made solely by the HBFI or was it reached on foot of proposals received or lobbying?

Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Home Building Finance Ireland - Financial Statements 2020 (3 Mar 2022)

Imelda Munster: The HBFI proposed it itself. Does Ms Deering accept it is the complete opposite of what it was set up to do in regard to small- and medium-sized builders and developers?

Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Home Building Finance Ireland - Financial Statements 2020 (3 Mar 2022)

Imelda Munster: The initial remit of the HBFI was for small- and medium-sized builders and developers. I am not wrong in saying that, am I?

Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Home Building Finance Ireland - Financial Statements 2020 (3 Mar 2022)

Imelda Munster: I just want to clarify that. Did that funding of €300 million come out of the €730 million or was it separate, additional funding?

Home Building Finance Ireland - Financial Statements 2020 (3 Mar 2022)

Imelda Munster: That is a sizeable chunk to allocate for the momentum fund. That would have substantially reduced the impact of the HBFI in lending to small- and medium-sized builders and developers.

Home Building Finance Ireland - Financial Statements 2020 (3 Mar 2022)

Imelda Munster: That funding was given despite the fact that the HBFI knew they would never come on the market and were not for the purpose originally envisaged when the organisation was set up . In other words, they were never going to come on the market and this would result in them being rented out at extortionate rates.

Home Building Finance Ireland - Financial Statements 2020 (3 Mar 2022)

Imelda Munster: These big developers, who have already got forward purchase agreements with the investment or cuckoo funds, are capable of arranging funding themselves and capable of formulating a business plan and going to the banks to get that because, let us say, they are in a far more comfortable position than a small- or medium-sized developer. In giving that money over, it seems to me the equivalent...
