Affordable Housing Bill 2021 [Seanad]: Second Stage (24 Jun 2021)

Eoin Ó Broin: The Bill has been two and a half years in gestation. Considerable work on the legislation and the ideas behind it started a year before the previous Government fell. As I understand it, the working group continued to work on it during the interregnum and modest changes, in my view, have been added by the Government. This means the legislation before us in fact does not represent the...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (24 Jun 2021)

Eoin Ó Broin: If ever there was a lesson in Orwellian doublespeak and dishonesty, we have just heard it from the Tánaiste. The key problem is that almost every single policy this Government has introduced has pushed up house prices and rents. The help to buy scheme pushed up house prices. Rent pressure zones, RPZs, pushed up rental costs. The shared equity loan scheme, which we will debate later...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (24 Jun 2021)

Eoin Ó Broin: This week's Central Statistics Office, CSO, pulse survey makes for grim reading. Some 76% of people sharing rented accommodation do not believe they will ever own their own home.

That is bad housing policy and reckless use of a public resource. I remind the Minister that Members of his party sided with Sinn Féin and the Social Democrats in opposing the appalling sweetheart land deal in Oscar...
