Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2022: Motion (30 Nov 2022)

Richard O'Donoghue: I also support the greyhound and horse racing industry. I come from a greyhound family and I grew up with greyhounds. In our house we had up to 26 greyhounds and they were better treated than I was myself, because if they were not walked and fed then I did not get fed. That was how much passion my father and family had for the greyhound industry. I was disappointed to see that the last...

Toll Charge Increases: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (29 Nov 2022)

Richard O'Donoghue: Yes. That is what he thinks of this country. He talks about forestry. His other failure is that in 2012 we knew there was a problem with ash dieback. The Government was told but it did nothing about it. What did it do? It let all the forests with ash dieback fail. It said it would give people €1,000 to clear the land. That is what it did. It was another failure of the...

Richard O'Donoghue: The Minister spoke for only two minutes and 40 seconds. Is that as much as he could give to rural Ireland?

Toll Charge Increases: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (29 Nov 2022)

Richard O'Donoghue: The Government does not want transition; it just wants tax. Every time someone turns, it is tax. In the Minister's last address to us here on COP, he mentioned the trillions of euro made by fossil fuel companies. However, he forgot to say that it was great because we are charging people 50% tax on that fossil fuel in this country without transition. The Minister wears glasses and I...

COP27: Statements (29 Nov 2022)

Richard O'Donoghue: COP 27 was a meeting of about 137 world leaders, representing 90% of global forest cover, committed to halting and reversing forest loss by 2030. Last week here in the Dáil we saw at first hand the gallop out to COP 27 while the forest farmers in this country are on their knees to keep going. They remain on their knees. There has been no funding here for the forest farmers affected by...

I am going to go straight into the questions. Roughly 15% of landlords are leaving the market, with 10% doing so to return the property to a family home. There are also people returning from abroad who had rented out their property while they were away...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Recent Trends in the Private Rental Sector: Residential Tenancies Board (29 Nov 2022)

Richard O'Donoghue: Where was the survey based? Was it based on the size of a population within a certain area? Was it based on all of Ireland? Was it based within the different sectors within each individual county? In that survey, which would have included larger landlords of apartments blocks, down to the person with four or five properties down to the person with one property, did it differentiate county...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Recent Trends in the Private Rental Sector: Residential Tenancies Board (29 Nov 2022)

Richard O'Donoghue: Are people wanting to get into the rental market just in Dublin, for example, because they are getting a high market price? Then there is a certain market price in Limerick or Clare with different returns. As you go out of the cities, how many are dropping off within the county areas or within the town or village areas because of what they face with infrastructure and things like that?...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Recent Trends in the Private Rental Sector: Residential Tenancies Board (29 Nov 2022)

Richard O'Donoghue: It is one of the reasons I joined this committee. The Joint Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage is very interesting because we all have different and diverse backgrounds that add into the committee, which is very good.
