- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Rebuilding Ireland: Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government. (12 Dec 2018)
Eoin Ó Broin: If one has an EIB loan for 25 years for cost rental units, and one has to pay down that plus the fees for management and maintenance of the properties, one's start-off rent will be at a certain point because one has to pay all the costs over 25 years. If one has a 70% EIB loan and a 30% CALF loan and one pays down the CALF loan over an additional ten years, that will give one 35 years to...

- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government (Supplementary) (11 Dec 2018) Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the Minister for his opening statement. Unlike the Secretary General of the Department of Finance, members of this committee will not be complaining about overspend or requests for additional moneys. Our questions are friendly questions on this occasion. I will stick to the Estimates and we will deal with policy issues at tomorrow's committee meeting. I wish to get more detail...

- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government (Supplementary) (11 Dec 2018) Eoin Ó Broin: I have two supplementary questions. On emergency accommodation, is the Minister saying that €60 million will fund more than 333 beds with refurbishment of properties for hubs as well as the permanent beds? Obviously I am not asking for the locations of the facilities, but I want a sense of what we are getting for that €60 million. I ask about the second part of the...

Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government (Supplementary) (11 Dec 2018) Eoin Ó Broin: Regarding leasing underperformance, the cost of acquisition per unit is much more significant, on a single year basis, than leasing. There were 2,000 leases in this year's targets and there are just over 2,000 in next year's targets as well. We have not seen the figures, and we will wait until they have been published, but only about 250 leased units were delivered midway through this year....

- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Local Government Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed) (6 Dec 2018)
Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the Minister of State for his response. He is probably not surprised that it does not answer my particular concerns. I will certainly be formally opposing the section. We have only 20 minutes left and want to get through all of the Bill. It is not that I want to stop anyone from having a discussion, but I would prefer us to move to the formal votes. I say to those who are not...

- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Local Government Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed) (6 Dec 2018)
Eoin Ó Broin: I have taken the view, both with the Cork and Galway elements, that I defer to my party colleagues in those constituencies, and Deputy Ó Laoghaire led for us on the Cork end. I have been speaking at length with my colleagues in Galway city and county councils, who are very concerned, and I want to relay those concerns to the Minister of State and let him know where we stand. I am being...
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Local Government Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed) (6 Dec 2018)
Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the Minister of State for engaging with us constructively on this. I am of a similar view to Deputy Darragh O'Brien. If the Minister of State is willing to sit down with us on the basis of what he has just outlined, that is a reasonable proposition that we could support. I will sound a word of caution, which I am sure is also going through the heads of the officials even though...
