Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Domestic Violence (9 Nov 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: Will the Minister give consideration to those in a domestic abuse situation who often through a housing assistant payment, HAP, or other form of temporary housing find refuge away from the family home and were previously on a local authority waiting list in their area? Could they be allowed to transfer to a local authority waiting list in another area without losing the time they have built...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Schemes (9 Nov 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank the Minister of State for outlining the circular issued to all local authorities. The Croí Cónaithe scheme has been invaluable. This has especially been the case in those areas where house prices are that bit lower than they might be elsewhere and additional works cannot be funded with borrowing because of the loan-to-value ratio and the cap the market places on homes in...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Schemes (9 Nov 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank the Minister of State. I especially welcome the update concerning Dublin City Council and the interaction in this regard. We have been speaking with the Minister for some time. Deputy Christopher O'Sullivan, who asked me to raise this parliamentary question on his behalf today, has also been working with Cork County Council, and perhaps the same interaction could be undertaken with...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Schemes (9 Nov 2023)

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Schemes (9 Nov 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: On the issue of additional capacity, could the Minister update the House on the additional beds provided by the Government over recent years and the plan to put in place 1,500 new hospital beds, which he had indicated earlier this year?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hospital Facilities (9 Nov 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank the Minister for stealing my punchline because I am taking this question on behalf of Deputy Troy. I welcome the arrival of Maria Ginnell Troy, his daughter. It is an example of how, in very important times, we need hospital capacity. I welcome the additional beds that the Government has brought on board and the significant funding. In the talk of cuts over recent weeks, I have...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hospital Facilities (9 Nov 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: The use of rapid build is increasingly important in both housing and the delivery of infrastructure but it can pose a challenge at constrained sites. In my constituency, Beaumont Hospital is an increasingly constrained site, although it once had a lot of land around it. The Mater hospital, which is nearby, is beyond maximum capacity. The big challenge will concern how rapid build can be...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hospital Services (9 Nov 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: Cappagh hospital is in my constituency but as the Minister rightly says, it is a national hospital. My colleagues, Deputies Cahill and Brendan Smith, have been plaguing both the Minister and the Ministers of State, Deputies Butler and Rabbitte. We have had extensive visits from Ministers. The Taoiseach himself has been out, as has the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, and many others. It is a...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Hospital Services (9 Nov 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: I very much welcome the confirmation that the project has been approved by the HSE board. There is great goodwill here. Sometimes we need to just keep pushing it through the bureaucracy. There is no better man than the Minister to do that. It affects people in my constituency but it is a national resource. There is great energy and effort here and it will go a long way to meeting the...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Nov 2023)

Paul McAuliffe: I share the frustrations of everybody else here on the committee. As I said to RTÉ representatives on the day, this note either backs up their case or it undermines it. Their case is that this meeting, and the key decision to underwrite, was the crux of the entire issue, and who knew what on that. Therefore, for RTÉ not to provide it puts a doubt in our minds that this position...
