Building the Housing of the Future: Motion [Private Members] (10 Apr 2019)

Joan Burton: I thank everyone who contributed to the debate here today: the many who agreed with us and those who were critical or in opposition to our motion. People are feeling a sense of total desperation and shame at present that almost 4,000 children are now homeless. As a society, we do not know what the long-term impact of that will be for those children. What disappoints me most about the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Wild Fires (10 Apr 2019)

Joan Burton: Has the Minister had any consultation with local landowners in the area affected by the fire? Has her Department explained to landowners that the widely held view that the recently passed Heritage Act has made it easier to burn vegetation is not based in fact?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Wild Fires (10 Apr 2019)

Joan Burton: The Minister did not answer my question about whether she had communicated with landowners in the area. That is important, given the weather we enjoyed last summer and the changes in climate we are experiencing. I am sure the Minister saw photographs of the fire on 30 March.
