Simon Harris: I said it is not affordable for many people at those prices. That is why the Government is providing a variety of different affordable housing schemes. We are also providing many supports for first-time buyers in the Deputy's constituency, which Sinn Féin oppose and would get rid of if it was in Government. I do not know why the Deputy is shaking her head and saying "No". Sinn...

Rose Conway-Walsh: Social Justice Ireland today published a damning analysis on the permanent effects of the last couple of budgets on inequality. It reinforces what Sinn Féin has been saying for months now, if not years. The longer this Government is in power, the worse things get. We have the evidence that things are getting worse for those who are crippled by the cost-of-living crisis. The gap...

Simon Harris: Objectively, the previous budget was progressive. That is the finding of the Economic and Social Research Institute, ESRI, and the finding of the documentation that is published on budget day. It was a progressive budget, and the measures taken were progressive. The Deputy raised a fair point with regard to children with disabilities. There was a consensus in this House that we should...

Robert Troy: I will bring the Taoiseach back to his previous role as Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science. He will be aware that Government promised to bring in legislation to facilitate and support technological universities to be able to borrow so they could provide their own student accommodation. Places like the Technological University of the Shannon in...

Just before I left the Department, we had gone out for proposals from the technological universities on what they could do on student accommodation. Those proposals are now back, and they are being assessed. I expect 2024 to be...

Bernard Durkan: In recent times, we have all become accustomed to dealing with higher volumes of queries about antisocial behaviour. They take on a very serious element in the present time when we are now dealing with people who are being forced out of their homes under threats of violence and sexual activity and abuse. People have had to sell their homes and, after their savings have been decimated, go...

Simon Harris: Antisocial behaviour in any scenario should not be tolerated. There are obviously clear tenancy agreements that people sign with the local authorities as well. There are antisocial behaviour officers in place. Whoever is carrying out antisocial behaviour in any scenario should obviously not be tolerated. From a Government point of view, we are reviewing the antisocial behaviour supports...
