Development land must be for homes for people, not property...

One was getting a growth rate — a continued climbing — at a time when exports were stable and falling, which meant that one was...

Seanad: The Economy: Statements (5 Dec 2008)

Denis O'Donovan: ...Constitution which examined and reported on property rights. Some of the conclusions the committee came to in its 2004 report were, however, ignored. People laughed at the findings of the 1970s Kenny report. The committee's conclusions were allied to many of his. Regrettably, not even some of them were taken on board.

Financial Resolution No. 15: (General) Resumed (15 Oct 2008)

Eamon Gilmore: ...who engaged in cribbing and moaning about the economy did not commit suicide. Fianna Fáil did nothing to limit the growth in house prices.

That is why we have a recession and why people on low and...

Dan Boyle: ...modern Ireland. There has been a constant debate on the right to private property and how it has assisted widespread speculation and has not assisted the application of the recommendations of the Kenny report of 1972. Perhaps that is a constitutional matter which should be addressed. The Irish Constitution lacks a specified section on a Bill of Rights such as can be found in other...

Appointment of Taoiseach and Nomination of Members of Government: Motion (14 Jun 2007)

Trevor Sargent: ...about the change that cannot wait for another five years and cannot wait for the perfect arrangement that anyone in the Opposition may imagine. All they are doing is imagining.
