Child Poverty and Homelessness: Motion [Private Members] (24 Sep 2025)

Rory Hearne: I thank the Labour Party for bringing forward this vital motion. It is unfortunate that the Government is opposing it. There are 5,014 children homeless in this country. When that number is thrown out, we often do not consider that each of those children is a child whose life is being damaged. It is equivalent to 220 primary school classes of children being homeless. Homelessness has...

Energy Costs: Motion [Private Members] (23 Sep 2025)

It is truly shocking the extent to which profits are being made by companies, by...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage: Affordable Housing: Discussion (23 Sep 2025)

Rory Hearne: I thank everyone here. I have a number of questions and my first one is for Professor Norris. It relates to the issue of financing, and perhaps Mr. Turnbull can come in as well.
