Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Affordable Housing Bill 2020 (Resumed): Land Development Agency (9 Mar 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: It was more to do with the acquisition. Obviously, it impacts the LDA Bill but it relates to the acquisition under section 183 from local authorities. One might call it forced acquisition. Does Mr. Coleman believe the LDA can carry out its functions and deliver its targets with or without that power, given the partnership approach it wants to take?

Paul McAuliffe: I thank my colleagues for allowing me to take a slot. I am not a member of this committee, but between Galway coachmen, Daniel O'Connell and Cork distilleries, I might be back again. I want to raise two issues with the Minister. First, I mention the consultation that is taking place on the Dublin 11 Luas line through Finglas.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Public Consultation on the National Development Plan (Resumed): Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, and for Transport (9 Mar 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank the Minister for his contribution. I have made representations to the Minister, Deputy McGrath, and will continue to do so.

I take the Minister's point that it is not about delaying or stalling the current projection...

Covid-19 Vaccine Roll-out Programme: Statements (4 Mar 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: I want to comment on the desire of people to have as much information as possible on the vaccine issue. I heard the Minister's answer earlier and I appreciate his bona fides on it. However, I think we are setting up a situation where we are being forced to manage a story that is ultimately in the control of the manufacturers. In many cases, open source data is a great solution in terms of...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (4 Mar 2021)

Land Development Agency Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (4 Mar 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: I am due to speak with a colleague but I think we are running a little ahead of time so I will use as much of the time as I can. The Land Development Agency Bill and its partner Bill, the affordable housing Bill, are two of the most important pieces of legislation that will come before this Dáil. I say that because they are the instruments which will allow the Government to deliver...

Reopening Schools and Leaving Certificate Examinations: Statements (3 Mar 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: I hope my colleagues will leave time at the end for the Minister to answer. I had hoped to be able to bring the Minister on a tour of my constituency when she was appointed. Unfortunately, I will have to do that virtually here today. I want to raise three school issues with the Minister. One is the issue of Clonturk Community College, which we discussed last September. I know the...
