Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Mar 2023)

Pearse Doherty: Aréir, chaith an Rialtas vóta a chinntigh go mbeidh níos mó saoránach sa tír seo gan dídean sna míonna amach romhainn. Cinneadh dochrach a bhí ann, is é sin rud a dhéarfadh go ligfeadh daoine i ndearmad go deo. Ní féidir leis an Rialtas an cheist shimplí a fhreagairt. Cá rachaidh na daoine seo? Last night, in what...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Mar 2023)

Pearse Doherty: The Tánaiste should fact-check that.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Mar 2023)

Pearse Doherty: The Tánaiste needs to get his head out of the clouds and look at and listen to what is happening on the ground. In his own constituency and throughout the State, there are people who will become homeless in nine days' time. They are from all sectors. They are young and old. We have letters about children who were born a couple of weeks ago, from mothers who have nowhere to go on 1...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Schools Building Projects (23 Mar 2023)

Pearse Doherty: I hear what the Minister is saying; that she is committed to these projects, and I take her at face value on that. The big question, however, is: when is she committed to delivering them? A total of 58 schools have a pause. They have received the letters and emails and there is shock in the communities. The Taoiseach stood in the seat across from me on Tuesday and gave a reassurance that...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Schools Building Projects (23 Mar 2023)

Pearse Doherty: There has been shock right across the school community as a result of letters issued to a number of schools stating that their building projects are now stalled. It seems that as many as 16 schools in my constituency may be affected, although the details are still sketchy. I have raised with the Minister in these questions two of those schools, Scoil Chonaill in Bun Beag and Gaelscoil na...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Schools Building Projects (23 Mar 2023)

Pearse Doherty: That does not give us the reassurance that the school community needs. On Tuesday, the Taoiseach stated, "I am happy to confirm and give the reassurance that funding will be provided for those 58 schools to continue construction this year." Can the Minister for Education, Deputy Foley, echo those words? Are all of these 58 schools, in the words of the Taoiseach, going "to continue...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Stability Programme Update: Discussion (22 Mar 2023)

Pearse Doherty: I thank Dr. McQuinn and welcome him to the committee. I am sorry for the delay. We have just come back from the voting block in the Dáil, where the Government has unfortunately voted to not extend the eviction ban. I will focus on some of the housing issues raised in Dr. McQuinn's contribution. He mentioned that "in light of...population estimates...it is now likely that the...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Stability Programme Update: Discussion (22 Mar 2023)

Pearse Doherty: The law normally is that the sharp increase in interest rates, meaning the cost of a mortgage unless you are a cash buyer has gone up dramatically, should in a normal environment push down house prices. However, in Dr. McQuinn’s assessment that will not happen in the next two to three years because of the mismatch in supply and demand. While prices will not increase at the level seen...
