Housing: Motion [Private Members] (3 Oct 2018)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I do not think the Minister believes there is a housing emergency in this State, because if he did he would take different actions. He seems to be oblivious to it. He does not get it fully because having young mothers with kids living in a single hotel room for years is a national scandal. Pensioners having no choice but to live in a car is equivalent to elder abuse. Not being able to...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Public Service Pay Commission Reports (3 Oct 2018)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The Minister of State has clearly had no correspondence from the commission indicating a delay. I accept the amount of data required but most of that had been well signalled in advance. We all knew last year or the year before what type of data would be required to make a case to deal with the pay rates in the Defence Forces and the need to tackle reinstatement of allowances. Is there...

Personnel heading out to Syria at least have a new date.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Public Service Pay Commission Reports (3 Oct 2018)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The Minister of State said earlier that the submission was made in September. Will he confirm the date in September on which the Public Service Pay Commission received or was sent the submission? The commission is due to report in autumn. As this is the last month of autumn, meeting that deadline will be an onerous task. Can the Minister of State confirm that the report from the Public...

Home Building Finance Ireland Bill 2018: Report Stage (2 Oct 2018)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I listened to what the Minister of State said. In some ways, he is suggesting we should not press this amendment because we should take people on trust. I have found over the years that if something is not stated in legislation, it can be ignored, although perhaps not initially. We are asking that the Bill would specifically state that lower interest rates and longer maturities can be...

Home Building Finance Ireland Bill 2018: Report Stage (2 Oct 2018)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: This is a reasonable amendment given the scale of the crisis for those who wish to buy a home. The housing crisis as a whole is a far bigger issue. Several constituents have come to my office in a panic because they cannot afford to rent or buy and are above the threshold for the local authority housing list. That is backed up by the housing figures for Dublin. On the open market, such...
