Road Traffic (Quads and Scramblers) (Amendment) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (17 Oct 2018)

Eoin Ó Broin: In my constituency scramblers is an enormous issue. I could today take the Minister of State to one large park which is surrounded by a number of private and council estates, a very vibrant community with very active sports clubs, boxing clubs and community sector, but in which the lives of perhaps 1,000 households are daily negatively affected by the unrestricted use of quads and...

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the Minister of State and acknowledge the work he is doing in this regard and that he has made himself available to discuss the matter with those of us who are Deputies for the constituency. The men, women and children who live in the Clondalkin Towers direct provision centre are part of our community. The children go to local schools, use local doctors and support services, while...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Direct Provision System (17 Oct 2018)

Eoin Ó Broin: I again acknowledge the role the Minister of State has played in securing funding for the accommodation worker in the Towers, as well as for the intercultural centre. I would, however, like to press him. My understanding is there is still contact between the RIA and the current contractor to try to resolve the issue, or at least to secure an extension to the current contract. Will the...

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the witnesses for their presentations. I apologise for being late but I did read the presentations before I came in. I will make a general comment and will then ask a series of very specific questions to tease out the details. As both of the witnesses will know, I am strongly in favour of a strategic land management agency. I strongly favour the idea of having a central body...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Appropriate Use of Public Land: Discussion (17 Oct 2018)

Eoin Ó Broin: I have a supplementary question. Some of my questions were not answered, but I will come back to them in parliamentary questions. The LDA's 10% social housing and 30% affordable housing targets are in the launch document and were mentioned in both of the presentations today. It is all very well to say that those targets might be exceeded on certain sites, such as Housing Agency sites, but...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Appropriate Use of Public Land: Discussion (17 Oct 2018)

Eoin Ó Broin: I apologise. I had to pop out to speak in the Chamber. I emphasise one point to Mr. Coleman. When he spoke about Dundrum, he referred to the comparison between it being sold privately where there would only be 10% Part V and the LDA model which is 40%. However, that is not really an appropriate comparison because it is public land. The real comparison should be between the utilisation of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Appropriate Use of Public Land: Discussion (17 Oct 2018)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the witnesses for taking the time to come in. I appreciate they are operating within Government policy so while, in the privacy of their own offices, they might have their own views on some of the issues we are about to discuss, I accept they are constrained by that Government policy. To put in context the concerns of some of us, one of the reasons many members of this committee...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Appropriate Use of Public Land: Discussion (17 Oct 2018)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the witnesses for their answers. While many of us are supportive of the Land Development Agency, LDA, as a strategic land management agency that moves around public land, the part of its function around residential housing development concerns us. That is partly because some of us take the side of councils, in that they would be better placed to be given the power and money to...
