Residential Tenancies (Deferment of Termination Dates of Certain Tenancies) Bill 2022: Second Stage (26 Oct 2022)

Catherine Connolly: I welcome the opportunity to speak. It is the second time today I have spoken about housing, which is unusual. Part of me does not want to repeat the same thing. However, it is extremely important that we continue to counter the narrative from the Government. I welcome the Bill and the effort that has gone into it. This should have happened sooner. We know that the moratorium on...

Social and Affordable Housing Supply: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (26 Oct 2022)

Catherine Connolly: I thank People Before Profit-Solidarity for the detailed motion. I have a difficulty with one issue, relating to the six months and the taking-over of houses, which I think needs a lot more thrashing out, but on a general level I support the motion. The five-page response from the Government is nothing short of shocking. When we look at the background to the motion and to the housing...

An dtuigeann an tAire an pointe sin? Má tá na daltaí in ann teangacha eile a fhoghlaim, cén fáth nach bhfuil siad in ann an Ghaeilge a fhoghlaim? An dtuigeann sí an pointe...
