Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Implementation of Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed) (25 Oct 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: Yes, but how many are on a notice to quit? I mean the 180 overholding does not surprise me but I seek the other number.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Implementation of Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed) (25 Oct 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: Excellent. Does Mr. Burns know how many tenant in situpurchases the council is currently progressing and how many landlords have been approached? This is something that has become the stuff of rumours and I would like to get this nailed. When we talk to the Minister, he will say that money is not an object when it comes to the tenant in situscheme, that it is being progressed and that is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Implementation of Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed) (25 Oct 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Implementation of Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed) (25 Oct 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: What is the current turnaround time for voids or casual lets, or whatever one wants to call them? It is a bit like asking how long is a piece of string. I understand they are all different, but there must be an average figure. Is Fingal County Council concerned about the impact of construction inflation on the potential to turn around at the same speed this year and in future years?

Mother and Baby Institutions Redress Scheme: Motion [Private Members] (19 Oct 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Deputies for tabling the motion and giving us the opportunity to debate an incredibly important issue. It had not been my intention to speak but I looked for time to speak on behalf of two of my constituents. Many of my constituents are victims. As the Minister knows, there are many victims, many of whom will be excluded. One is a man who thinks he is aged 79; he does not know...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (19 Oct 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the Chair. I thank our guests not just for attending but generally for the work they do. It is great to have an opportunity to have this discussion and shine a bit of a light on it. I was struck by the following line in Dr. Widdis' submission: "we presume no business wants the operational, reputational or legal risk of being linked to abuses of human rights and damage to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (19 Oct 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank Ms Lawlor for that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (19 Oct 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: That will be essential because human rights defenders and unions will be the eyes and ears. If this directive is done right, they will be the eyes and ears of this directive in every home. Ms Tunney is dead right to make that point. We are talking here predominantly although not exclusively about vulnerable women workers and nobody would be more vulnerable than a woman working in the home...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (19 Oct 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: Expanding the sectors to include more sectors that would be considered high risk seems very reasonable. It is alarming that there are even discussions about watering down the proposal when 99% of EU businesses are already excluded. There is no point in having the directive if 100% of EU businesses are to be excluded. We need to get that right. On the engagement that either of our...
