Niamh Smyth: I congratulate my colleague, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, who has been very vocal and has led the campaign for housing.

Niamh Smyth: I support my colleague. I stood in front of the Minister yesterday during the demonstrations.

Niamh Smyth: I have a brief question. In recent weeks, the committee has had various organisations before it and there was a sense that in some ways, there is some duplication in this process. The witnesses may have heard some of Free Market's presentation. Its research has shown that there is a disjointedness in this process and that funding for town and village renewal could all come under the one...

Niamh Smyth: I thank Mr. Falvey and his Department for their hard work on this issue. To follow on from what Senator Warfield said, the Department has chosen the cities of Dublin and Cork in which to establish pilot projects. I am surprised Galway was not included.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Nov 2019)

Niamh Smyth: It is two months since the beef protesters came off the picket lines, which they did it because the Minister requested that they do so and because of his commitment to set up a beef task force, which he has not done.
