Young Carers: Motion [Private Members] (20 Mar 2025)

Maurice Quinlivan: I thank the Labour Party for bringing forward this motion regarding young carers. Sixty-seven thousand children - let us call them what they are - provide regular care for adults. They do so in an unpaid capacity. It is a burden young people should not have to face that impacts their development and, often, their mental health. One in four of them goes to school hungry and without food...

Maurice Quinlivan: 8. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government the plans he has to increase the funding per unit for refurbishing vacant and derelict local authority houses; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12669/25]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Vacant Properties (20 Mar 2025)

Maurice Quinlivan: My question is about local authority vacant homes, known as voids. Are there any plans for Government to increase the money allowed to each local authority per unit? It is an issue that causes concern across the State, particularly when people live next door to a local authority house that is boarded up, which can be the case for a number of years. Is the Minister of State increasing the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Vacant Properties (20 Mar 2025)

Maurice Quinlivan: I thank the Minister of State. I am not sure I heard him correctly in respect of a limit of €11,000. Limerick council gets €11,000 per unit for each house it does up. The average cost per unit to the council is €48,000. The cost of refurbishment is a major problem, which the council cannot afford itself. We need to look at the issue clearly. Local authorities such...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Vacant Properties (20 Mar 2025)

Maurice Quinlivan: Limerick council has done a very good job when it can, when it has the money. The process is cumbersome. They have to through bundles; they cannot just do one but have to do a couple. It takes quite a while to come back. Many of the houses that are boarded up have only minor works to be done. While waiting for authorisation from the Department, they end up being boarded up, which costs...

Social Housing Tenant In Situ Scheme: Motion [Private Members] (19 Mar 2025)

Maurice Quinlivan: The changes the Minister announced to the tenant in situ scheme will make more people in Limerick homeless. The changes announced by the Minister are a mistake and should be rowed back as a matter of urgency. The scheme as it stood was working and stopped thousands from becoming homeless. It should have been expanded. It should have been further funded. It is one of the simplest ways to...

Report of the Housing Commission: Statements (Resumed) (19 Mar 2025)

Maurice Quinlivan: First, I thank the Minister for the opportunity to speak on this debate which is long overdue. Sinn Féin has been looking for this debate for a long time and we are finally here. It is only a few short weeks into the term of this Government and already it appears that the Government's housing plan has failed. We have a continuation of the previous Government of Fianna Fáil and...

Policing and Community Safety: Statements (Resumed) (5 Mar 2025)

Maurice Quinlivan: I am delighted to speak on statements on policing and community safety, but if we are to be serious about this the outcome has to be that people actually feel safe in their own local communities. Unfortunately, a lot of them do not. In 2007 John Fitzgerald produced a report that led to the Limerick regeneration programme. In that report he stated that we needed a minimum of 100 extra...
