Irish Water: Statements (27 Apr 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: Ten years on, domestic water charges continue to be opposed by Sinn Féin, which is why no householder in the North of Ireland is paying them.

Irish Water: Statements (27 Apr 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: The reason is that Sinn Féin keeps its word.

Irish Water: Statements (27 Apr 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: Our view on the matter is very straightforward. Some 90 Deputies were elected to this House on a mandate of ending water charges and 39 of us have tabled the motion, as Deputy Adams stated earlier. I welcome the fact Fianna Fáil has abandoned a long-standing commitment to water charges. Why has it done so? It has done so under great pressure from the hundreds of thousands of...

Irish Water: Statements (27 Apr 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: In his absence, I thank Deputy Micheál Martin for the backhanded compliment on the issue of water this morning. He and his colleagues in Fianna Fáil know a thing or two about verbal dexterity. Given the fact his party's U-turns on the issue over the years have turned into veritable cartwheels, "verbal gymnastics" is probably a more appropriate description. It is worth...

Eoin Ó Broin: Does the Chairman propose to go through each of the headings and seek suggestions at this point?

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: Interim Report of Committee (26 Apr 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: I wish to suggest a couple of obvious names. The first is Dr. Eoin O'Sullivan from Trinity College, one of the country's leading academic experts on homelessness. He would be a good witness to invite as he has probably done the most up-to-date research on the causes of homelessness, funding models and so forth. Another is Mr. Cathal Morgan, the head of the homeless agency which...

Eoin Ó Broin: That is all under the homelessness heading.

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: Interim Report of Committee (26 Apr 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: I have some suggestions. We should invite the head of the Irish Council for Social Housing because they obviously represent all the voluntary housing providers in the social sector.

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: Interim Report of Committee (26 Apr 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: Okay. I have a couple of other suggestions. If we have the South Dublin and Dublin city managers in today, we could also invite a couple of other managers and heads of housing from other local authorities. Limerick City Council would be interesting because they piloted HAP first, so it would be good to hear from the head of housing there. We could also include some of the rural counties...
