Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Issues Surrounding Water Quality and Supply: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the EPA and HSE for their presentations. I thank Dr. Ryan, in particular, for continuing to be very frank with this committee in his presentations. The three reports that have published make for very uncomfortable reading year-on-year but, as a committee, we would do ourselves an injustice if we did not take the facts in those reports seriously because that is exactly what they...

Eoin Ó Broin: It would be fair to say that is significant progress on the 48 agglomerations we were talking about when the EPA first came to this committee three or four years ago. It is important to acknowledge that, while there have been significant problems, in Mr. Byrne's view, has there been significant progress?

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the Minister of State and his officials. I fully concur with the Chair's remarks. Some of us have been asking for these for almost two full Dáil terms, so it is great to see them come finally to fruition. I have just four technical questions. Sinn Féin will support the speedy passage of the regulations. As much to put it on the record as anything, will the Minister of...

Eoin Ó Broin: The Minister's press conference yesterday to announce the detail of his budget was a very apt metaphor for his term of office. Just as he started to make overinflated claims about his success, the alarm bells started to ring and he, his fellow Ministers, departmental staff and the assembled media had to be evicted. What that tells us of course is the gap between the Minister's claims and...

Financial Resolutions 2022 - Financial Resolution No. 6: General: Financial Resolution (Resumed) (28 Sep 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: The Minister is failing. There are rising house prices, rising rents, rising levels of homelessness and anaemic social and affordable housing delivery. Only a real alternative budget to deliver 20,000 genuine social and affordable homes will change the crisis. The Government promised it in the election, and it failed to deliver. That is why the Government is out of time and out of ideas....
