Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Regulations: Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (17 Nov 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: I would reflect on the points Deputy Higgins made about the scale and the numbers involved, for both those in receipt of temporary protection and those seeking international protection. Ireland has no control over those numbers. We are in receipt of those people. They come to our shores and airports and they seek international protection. In the case of those coming from Ukraine, they are...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Housing Provision (15 Nov 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: I welcome the Taoiseach's answer. It gives an example of the depth and breadth of the Housing for All plan and how it touches on so many different areas of increasing supply, not least with the provision of public housing on public land. On the last count, there are more than 25 public sites delivering public housing in my constituency. That is very welcome. That most recent of those was...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (10 Nov 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: The Government took a number of measures in the budget to protect people from the cost-of-living crisis, not least the increase in the fuel allowance for those who are over 70 years of age and who earn up to €26,000 and for couples earning up to €52,000 where one member of the couple is over 70. That is a really important measure. Many people are waiting for it, particularly...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Cycling Facilities (10 Nov 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: The Minister hit the nail on head. We need to work with existing companies but many of them are telling us that the capital costs of providing e-bikes across the whole city are significant and the State should be involved. They are, however, happy to be involved in the operation and delivery of the service. That would give the State control and provide stability in the city as people would...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Cycling Facilities (10 Nov 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: In the complexity of reaching our climate action targets, one of the easiest ways we can take action is by cycling. One of the best ways of introducing people to that and giving them flexibility is bike sharing. What are the Minister's plans for station-less bike sharing schemes in Dublin and other cities?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Cycling Facilities (10 Nov 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: The Minister is right. I served for ten years on Dublin City Council and I am passionate about bike sharing because I saw how Dublin Bikes worked and how much the people of the city love it. I am often asked when it will expand. We know the technology has moved on and we are moving towards to stationless bikes. We also see a worrying trend in other cities where bike sharing companies are...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Planning and Development and Foreshore (Amendment Bill) 2022: Discussion (10 Nov 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: I have similar questions in regard to heads 9 and 10. While we do not want in any way to delay the much-needed development of offshore wind, there seems to be some disquiet from those people who are promoting projects. My understanding of Ms Murray's answer is that she effectively is saying that from the sea bed, the column and the air above it, which is all the territorial area of the...

Paul McAuliffe: In my earlier comments, I said this is two pieces of legislation. I will first ask representatives of the Irish Planning Institute about the An Bord Pleanála elements. I am very worried about the volume of workload for whatever entity oversees planning. My question is a simple one. Given the significant infrastructure projects - of principal concern to me is metro but also the...
