Student Fees: Motion [Private Members] (8 Jul 2025)

Conor Sheehan: Sometimes I wonder what this country has against young people and, in turn, what this Government has against young people. Young people always pay the price: they paid the price for the sins of the crash, for the banks and for the property developers. This whole calamity has been really badly handled. The Minister opened a can of worms on the radio the other week and unleased a...

Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2025: Second Stage (8 Jul 2025)

Given that we are taking Second Stage of the Bill today and Committee and Remaining...

We believe that these proposals are not evidence based and they are not going to deal with...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage: Priorities of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage: Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage (8 Jul 2025)

Conor Sheehan: I thank the Minister and his officials for coming in. I will be brief. The Minister obviously cannot comment on the specifics of the judicial review, but how did he not know about this before he came in here today? Why did his officials not tell him? Was he told about the risk of this before he pulled the PPP project? I understand the Minister's rationale for pulling the project. I wish...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage: Priorities of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage: Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage (8 Jul 2025)

Conor Sheehan: Given the Minister cancelled these PPPs at the eleventh hour, would he not accept that because of the uncertainty that has been injected into it for developers it is now essentially unviable as a delivery route? Who is going to take a project on if a decision could come at effectively the eleventh hour? In the time remaining to me I want to ask about the changes to apartment guidelines...

Nursing Homes: Motion [Private Members] (2 Jul 2025)

Conor Sheehan: My grandad was actually in one of these affected nursing homes in 2024. The Minister of State, Deputy O'Donnell, would know this nursing home very well. It backs onto our constituency.
