Thomas Gould: I commend my party colleague, Deputy Ó Broin, on bringing forward this Bill, and the Simon Community on the work it has done on it. It is vital that we start tackling homelessness.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Regeneration Projects (14 Dec 2021)

Thomas Gould: I am looking at the Minister of State's script. In the last paragraph on the first page it is stated that between 2013 and 2020, Cork City Council received €21 million in respect of retrofitting works for 7,000 units. Did the council change light bulbs or what? A figure of €21 million to retrofit 7,000 units does not add up at all. I ask that be clarified. Cork City Council...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Urban Regeneration: Discussion (14 Dec 2021)

My own constituency of Cork North-Central is blighted from the inner city areas to the rural areas with dereliction and vacancy. Since I have come to Dublin for the past almost two years as a Deputy, the amount of...

Local authorities are not being encouraged nor funded by the Government to do this. I do not think it should...
