Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Challenge and Opportunity for Local Authorities in Climate Action: Discussion (31 May 2022)

Short-term Lettings Enforcement Bill 2022: Second Stage [Private Members] (24 May 2022)

Réada Cronin: I happy to speak on this Stage and I commend an Teachta Ó Broin on this Bill. As a Deputy in north Kildare, where people are struggling to find a place to rent or to buy, I believe the boom in short-term lets exposes much of what is wrong with us in this State, politically and socially, because of a particular kind of political priority. This priority puts the desires and greed of the...
