Residential Tenancies (Prevention of Family Homelessness) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (28 Mar 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: The Minister said earlier on radio that we could not force people to sell with a tenant in situ. He said the same thing again here tonight. He said the value of the property of that owner would fall by 20% to 30%. I want to examine that claim with him. Does he have proof that would happen, given the dearth of available housing? Given the shortage of housing, would selling a house with a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: BusConnects: National Transport Authority (Resumed) (27 Mar 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: I am glad to hear Deputies raising issues in west Dublin. It is a bit mystifying that when transport is planned, the areas that have grown in population, as has been outlined, are left completely bereft. I am delighted, by the way, about the MetroLink to Swords because Swords is a hugely growing area as well. I feel, however, that this is being done more to make it easier for people to get...

The industrial parks do not have proper bus services, people are driving in from all over...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: BusConnects: National Transport Authority (Resumed) (27 Mar 2019)

Ruth Coppinger: I do not want to take up the whole meeting, but the NTA knows that will not solve the problem because traffic gets clogged up in places such as Stoneybatter. It would not be the quickest route. Through the Phoenix Park would be the best route if the NTA wanted to plonk a Luas line through it. We would then be in and out of town quickly. Private transport uses it constantly, but there is...
