- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 May 2024)
Ivana Bacik: A radical strategic reset of housing policy is what the Housing Commission has called for in its leaked report, excerpts of which have been published today. I think we all look forward to reading it but it is within Government's gift to publish it. It should be published and I am glad the Taoiseach says it will be published this week. What we know from what has been leaked is that it...

Simon Harris: I am very pleased that we have an opportunity today to discuss one of the largest and biggest social issues we face in this country, which is the housing challenge and making sure everyone in Ireland can have a roof over their heads, the young generation can aspire to own their own homes and parents can see their adult children move out of the box rooms in their homes and into homes with the...

Joan Collins: And then take actions.

Simon Harris: Then, take actions. That is a good idea too, Deputy Collins. Does the Deputy know what the Government will do this week? It will publish the report. What the Opposition might do is read the report. Then, we might come into this Chamber and debate the report to see how we can actually make more progress. This Government is making progress when it comes to housing supply and...

Joan Collins: Publish it.

Simon Harris: We are standing here today in a vastly different place when it comes to housing supply from where we were only months ago, and in a very different world when it comes to housing supply from where we were years ago when my party first came to Government, which Deputy McDonald referenced.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 May 2024)
Mary Lou McDonald: As I said, the party is now 13 years in government. Any fair analysis of the facts reflects record house prices, record rents and record homelessness. I do not know what world the Taoiseach lives in, but the reality I meet in communities across the State is one of crisis, stress and, in many cases, misery. I do not think I am overstating it to say that when people live in overcrowded...

Mary Lou McDonald: For the past year the Government has been telling everyone it has turned the corner on housing. Even as so many people across our society struggle to find an affordable home, it dresses up failure as progress. Today, however, we know the truth. The Housing Commission, established by the Government, has called the Government out today. Its leaked report, which would not have seen the light...

- Neighbour Disputes (Vegetation) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (16 May 2024)
Mary Butler: I will keep it brief because I would only be reiterating what was said already. I am grateful for the opportunity to make some brief closing remarks on what has been a fascinating discussion. I thank Deputy Ó Snodaigh for initiating this Bill and the effort to address an issue that can become both serious and distressing for some in our communities, where they are in dispute with their...
- Neighbour Disputes (Vegetation) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (16 May 2024)
Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I will start where the Minister of State finished. This legislation was drafted in advance of the Mediation Act, but that is not to say that it should end because the Mediation Act has passed. There is a need for mediation and in fact the local authority in the city here often acts as a mediator where there is an antisocial tenant or a row between neighbours, especially in an estate that it...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: They grow. That is their purpose, and it is the same with hedges. Kids are the same. They are not as dainty either. Most people would cut their hedge back every year but will not touch trees. For trees, you have to be capable of going up a ladder and able to manage all the safety of cutting down a tree and so on. Sometimes it happens when a new estate is being built and because it looks...
