Ruth Coppinger: Can the Ceann Comhairle clarify how much time I have?
- Other Questions: Labour Activation Measures (25 May 2016)
Ruth Coppinger: I thought I had 30 seconds to ask a question first. The reason we tabled the question is a mysterious line appeared in the programme for Government committing to the introduction of a fit for work programme co-ordinated by the Departments of Health and Social Protection. It immediately rang alarm bells among the Anti-Austerity Alliance because a similar scheme is operating in Britain at...

I am going to confine my remarks to the private rental sector rather than modular housing, which has nothing to do with Threshold.

- Committee on Housing and Homelessness: Threshold (24 May 2016)

All that happens is that landlords will not take people on rent...
