Flood Prevention Measures: Motion [Private Members] (13 Dec 2016)

Kevin Moran: In the past 20 years there have been three major historic floods in Ireland. Last year was the first time ever that we kept the water out of Athlone through hardship, volunteers, local authorities and the OPW. We proved and pushed a platform to show how we can protect homes around the country with sandbags and polythene. When I came into government in partnership with my good colleague,...

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government and the County and City Management Association (2 Jun 2016)

Kevin Moran: It will not be easy to solve the problem. I am a realistic person. I am from the Longford-Westmeath constituency and I know how hard it is to get over the hurdles the county manager-----

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government and the County and City Management Association (2 Jun 2016)

Kevin Moran: It is not mine. I would like to put a question. Much of the focus is on the cities but we cannot forget rural areas. Have the officials put forward proposals to buy land for local authorities that do not have land? Has the land of State bodies such as CIE, which has huge landbanks, been considered? This land could clearly be used for social and affordable housing and even for private...

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: National Treasury Management Agency and Department of Finance (31 May 2016)

Kevin Moran: Everyone who comes in here talks about social and affordable housing. The affordable housing model that was set out has not worked. Regardless of the constituency one goes to, it has not worked. I want to hear the witnesses' view on that. In my local authority, anyone living in an affordable house had to be bailed out by the State in the difficult times. I am curious to hear the...

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: National Treasury Management Agency and Department of Finance (31 May 2016)

Kevin Moran: All the talk is about on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet. If we come up with ideas in this committee, we have to refer to the issue of finance. Is it fair to say that regardless of the ideas we come up with, they must meet the requirements in that regard or nothing will happen in terms of those ideas? We meet here every Tuesday and Thursday. The witness said the Minister came to him...

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: Peter McVerry Trust (26 May 2016)

Kevin Moran: I agree with the Deputy, but in a lot of towns CPOs are made for listed buildings. It is a no-brainer for somebody to develop a listed building and if we are to change legislation, we need to look at that issue, too.

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: Peter McVerry Trust (26 May 2016)

Kevin Moran: I thank the witnesses for their very detailed submission. If we were to heed everything in it in order to make matters work, it would be great. Many people have great ideas and many others blame those in government. I listened to much being said about local authorities. It is fair to say that in the past ten years successive Governments have left local authorities with no money for the...
