Waste Collection Charges: Motion [Private Members] (21 Jun 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the Anti-Austerity Alliance-People Before Profit for tabling this Private Members' motion, which Sinn Féin will support, and the Independents 4 Change for their amendment, which we will also support. Listening to the debate over the past number of days has been a little bit surreal. The dramatic hike in proposed bin charges is indisputable. These are not rumours but actual...

Waste Collection Charges: Motion [Private Members] (21 Jun 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: None of these people has savings available under the Minister's scheme. The bottom line is that SI 24 is not fit for purpose and that is why Sinn Féin firmly agrees with the sentiment of the motion. It was not written correctly and it will not have the impact the Minister says it will have. The best thing to tear up the statutory instrument and start again from the beginning. We...

Rent Certainty Bill 2016: Second Stage [Private Members] (14 Jun 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: I also agree with the Minister that landlords and the private rental sector are a key part of our housing system. I live in the private rental sector. I choose to live there and I want to continue living there. I am very happy to say, without hesitation, that we need a private rental system that is good for landlords and tenants. One of the values of rent certainty is that, over time, it...

Rent Certainty Bill 2016: Second Stage [Private Members] (14 Jun 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: First of all, I acknowledge the efforts the Minister has made since taking up his job to engage with all of the political parties in the housing committee and more generally in the Dáil.

I also agree with him that no party has...

Rent Certainty Bill 2016: Second Stage [Private Members] (14 Jun 2016)

A middle income working family paying this level of rent simply would not be able to afford to save for a deposit to purchase a home....

Rent Certainty Bill 2016: Second Stage [Private Members] (14 Jun 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: They are asking families at risk of losing their homes and under huge financial strain to wait. In my view, this is simply not acceptable. Sinn Féin's intention in tabling this Bill is to advance what we believe is a sensible policy that urgently needs to be introduced. I make no apologies for doing that here tonight. The only gazumping going on here is in the private rental...
