Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Rebuilding Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness: Discussion (29 May 2019)

David Cullinane: I normally see the staff who work for the Committee of Public Accounts and I am happy to speak to the staff here also. The homeless figures have just been issued and have increased again. The figure now stands at 10,378. The Minister keeps saying Rebuilding Ireland is working. How does this chime with the latest figures? Will the Minister react to the figures that have just been...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Update on Rebuilding Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness: Discussion (29 May 2019)

David Cullinane: The Minister uses terms like "ramping up" and "acceleration" with respect to new social and public housing, but it is a crawl at best. The evidence is before our eyes with these figures. We cannot on the one hand say Rebuilding Ireland is a success because we are building more houses and we are "ratcheting" up construction, as the Minister stated, while we get these figures month on month,...

Vulture Funds: Motion [Private Members] (28 May 2019)

David Cullinane: The Minister said the people sitting opposite him did not have a monopoly of understanding the fears and anxieties of those with distressed mortgages or who found it difficult to pay very high mortgages. That may or may not be correct, but I do not believe the Government understands fully what is happening to the families concerns and their real fears and anxieties when vulture funds arrive...

Vulture Funds: Motion [Private Members] (28 May 2019)

David Cullinane: I will get to them.

Vulture Funds: Motion [Private Members] (28 May 2019)

David Cullinane: This is the deal. Families cannot do anything about the letters they receive. They are then told not to worry because all of the deals they entered into will be honoured and that there is nothing to see here, similar to what the Government stated about Bills brought forward by the Opposition to regulate and deal with vulture funds. There is no problem, until people receive a letter from a...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 May 2019)

David Cullinane: I welcome that. Lessons are obviously being learned in respect of the national children's hospital and the broadband plan. As we discussed at our last meeting, there was a lot of commentary on the correspondence between Mr. Watt and the Secretary General of the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment. That is fine. He set out very real concerns regarding that project....
