Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2021
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (30 Mar 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: Gabhaim mo mhíle buíochas leis na haíonna agus leis an Aire Stáit. How many buildings that are managed by the OPW are empty? I do not mean Covid-related non-usage, but in general. When I undertook some research a number of years ago, I found that a large number of State buildings, owned by the people of this country, were lying idle in 2016. In my constituency, an ESB...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2021
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (30 Mar 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: The Minister of State would have to agree that the State owning buildings yet allowing them to remain empty is scandalous. There is a hardly a county that does not have a community that does not have the community facilities it needs. In my constituency, we are battling away in Johnstown, Enfield, Longwood and many other places to try to get our hands on buildings for their communities to...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2021
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (30 Mar 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: I appreciate that there are complexities with some of the buildings. However, some of them are in decent enough shape and are in towns that have no community facilities. The OPW is holding them, but there are major difficulties with the Department of Justice, the Department of Education or local authorities. For example, there are two old schools in Trim. One was handed over to the...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2021
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (30 Mar 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: I will give an example. When Senator McDowell was the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, he bought Thornton Hall in north Dublin for a new prison. Thornton Hall is under potatoes at the moment even though it cost the country a large amount of money. The State owns a great deal of land that is not being used for the purposes it was purchased for at a significant cost to the...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (30 Mar 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: Is the Minister of State including the buildings on Moore Street in the figure of 76? That battlefield site was the birthplace of the Irish Republic. It was the last stand of the Volunteers in 1916, whom many of us will celebrate on Easter Monday. Those buildings lie on a street that was synonymous with the vibrancy of the Dublin markets years ago. It gives me no pleasure to say it, but...

Peadar Tóibín: Also, we could see that as a cultural hub which would transform much of the dereliction of inner-city Dublin. What plans has the OPW to develop those buildings now?

Civil Liability and Courts (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (25 Mar 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: I am delighted to speak in favour of the Regional Group's Civil Liability and Courts (Amendment) Bill 2021. So far in this Dáil, my colleagues and I in the group have chosen to prioritise reform of the insurance industry. Outside of Covid-19, insurance dysfunction has cost so many people so much, including families, homeowners, drivers and many small business owners. This dsyfunction...

Residential Tenancies Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Mar 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: I will focus on one of the major issues affecting people right now which is the lack of houses. It is incomprehensible that given the length and depth of the housing crisis in Ireland the building of homes in this country is currently deemed non-essential. Hundreds of people have died in homelessness on the streets of our towns and cities over the last number of years. Many more will lose...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (25 Mar 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: Two weeks ago I raised the shocking allegations of serious threats to the life and health of a senior prison officer in an Irish prison. I referred to the Naughton report, which confirms the veracity of these allegations, and I questioned the Tánaiste on the lack of implementation of that report. He stated that he did not know anything about it but I have a letter here that was sent to...

Covid-19 Vaccination Programme (Health): Statements (25 Mar 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: A total of 480 people will get cancer today. Tragically, 24 people will die from cancer today. According to the experts, as a result of the cancellation and reduction in cancer treatments by the Government there will be an influx of massively advanced cancers. By any measure, that is an absolute disgrace. This week we hear that the Government will not resume cancer services fully until...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (24 Mar 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: The issue of a human right to life is a devolved issue under the Good Friday Agreement yet the Northern Secretary of State, Brandon Lewis, has driven a coach and four through devolution and the Good Friday Agreement and sought to introduce an extreme form of abortion legislation on the people of the North of Ireland against their will. Shockingly, this has been done with the active lobbying...
