Chapter 18 - Tax relief on film production (28 Nov 2019) Shane Cassells: Is Mr. Cody intimating that that is where this should go? If so, it worries me. Potentially, there is a change coming. Is Mr. Cody intimating that the Minister should interject on a policy basis to protect the income of the workers? Am I able to draw that inference?

Chapter 18 - Tax relief on film production (28 Nov 2019) Shane Cassells: As a Member of the Oireachtas, I was not saying to the chairman of Revenue that it should be done subjectively. I was asking about the study that was being done to assess the tax code. I was looking at the application of the interpretation of the list I have in front of me. The Minister has said that it is a question of interpretation. That is why the invitation was extended. It was done...

- Planning and Development (Amendment) (First-Time Buyers) Bill 2019: Second Stage [Private Members] (27 Nov 2019)
Shane Cassells: I pay tribute to my colleagues, Deputies Darragh O'Brien and Casey, for their work on this Bill because we need to continue to seek idea-based solutions to address our housing crisis, rather than rhetoric from the usual sources. Deputy O'Brien pointed out the number of Bills Fianna Fáil has introduced in that respect. He has continued to use this forum of our national Parliament to...
- Planning and Development (Amendment) (First-Time Buyers) Bill 2019: Second Stage [Private Members] (27 Nov 2019)
Shane Cassells: My God, I am. We have seen this week the pantomime show of others running to the plinth to try to get as many television cameras as possible to look at them. There is no worry about housing when they are merely worried about their 30 seconds on the news tonight. In that respect the core component of home ownership needs to be addressed because we have multiple aspects to the debate on...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Role and Remuneration of Local Authority Members: Discussion (27 Nov 2019)
Shane Cassells: I thank the Minister of State for attending. Much in the same vein as what Senator Boyhan has already stated, we in this committee are a year on from discussing an interim report that had little in it to begin with and spoke only to the factual position. Given that we were due to have this report at the end of the summer recess, if we could have clarity this morning that this process will...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Role and Remuneration of Local Authority Members: Discussion (27 Nov 2019)
Shane Cassells: That is not a problem. On that final point, in the context of a report being adopted and agreed in 2020, is it a case that funding on an ongoing basis, in terms of that deficit that would have to be made up, will be met by central Exchequer funding or will be anticipated, because the budgets for 2020 are being agreed this week by county councillors across the country and they would not be in...

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Nov 2019)
Shane Cassells: This is a useful document, particularly in the context of the fact that local authorities throughout the country are compiling their budgets and it is a notable part of local government funding. Last week, I raised this issue and the issue of rates income foregone. Following that, I asked a parliamentary question on the amounts paid by the Department to local authorities over the past five...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Nov 2019)
Shane Cassells: It was shocking helpful. On the issue of funding, €46 million was paid each year for five years in various local authorities. There are wide variations. For example, in Waterford, it was almost €4.6 million last year; in Louth, it was €584,000; in Tipperary, it was €427,000; and in my county, it was €308,000. In Galway city, it was €98,000 while...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Nov 2019)
Shane Cassells: It is under the proper Department where it should be. Irish Water knows very well what it is liable for in each county. I have written to Irish Water separately seeking the information but there would be no harm if the committee did it also.
