Paul McAuliffe: Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCathaoirleach agus leis na hAirí freisin. I have a question for each of them and I will put them in order. I welcome the opportunity to discuss in detail the electoral reform Bill with the Minister of State, Deputy Noonan. It is becoming increasingly obvious within the committee that this is a very large area and that the area of online political...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on the Programme for Government: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (20 Apr 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: On that point, and I know we are short on time, as the subject evolves, we do not allow advertising on broadcast media, and it would appear to be even more complex in this space. I ask the Minister of State to look at the deliberations as we go through them and perhaps to consider a ban on online advertising during election periods until we have a wider scale approach. It is a suggestion...

Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Revised) (20 Apr 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: We will have an opportunity when the joint committee meets to discuss housing with the Minister so I will leave some issues until then. Looking at these figures one cannot miss the €558 million figure for the housing assistance payment, HAP. It leaps off the page. The Minister obviously inherited this system. I and other members have consistently stated that HAP accounts for the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee On Key Issues Affecting The Traveller Community: Traveller Employment and Labour Market Participation: Discussion (20 Apr 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: I have a number of questions and I ask the witnesses to respond as appropriate. I am interested in hearing the views on the issue of Traveller training centres.

Have any studies been done in respect of this area to determine whether it...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: National Marine Planning Framework: Discussion (6 Apr 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank everyone for the work that has been put into this. The phrase "landmark document" is sometimes overused, but this certainly puts a shape and plan on both the nearshore and the foreshore for many decades to come. It is very significant legislation. We should not underestimate the amount of consultation that has been done on this, which is worth repeating. I have spoken to...

I look forward to the opportunity to participate at that stage. This is not something...

Prime Time Investigates Programme on Department of Health: Statements (1 Apr 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: I will begin with the point on which Deputy Hourigan finished. This is a test for us.

Rather, my remarks are addressed to those who decided to take the actions that have been uncovered. It is important to note that we only have the claims of a whistleblower...

Vaccination Programme and Covid-19: Statements (1 Apr 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: I have listened carefully to what the Minister has said. Unfortunately, I missed the beginning of the debate because I have come directly from one of the new walk-in test centres in Finglas. Before it opened at 11 a.m., there was already a queue of people waiting. Yesterday, we received briefings from suppliers of antigen tests as to the availability of such tests. With regard to both...
