Brian Stanley: There has been a substantial problem associated with the fitting of meters in the Dublin area where several hundred leaks have been caused during the fitting and the local authority is picking up the tab for repairs. We are concerned because we were told that these would be fitted professionally and there would be no leaks, that there would be minimum disturbance and problems. Meters are...

Other Questions: Local Authority Housing Provision (4 Feb 2014)

Brian Stanley: The programme to deal with void units is a good measure, but there are very few such units in County Laois. On funding, I accept that there is no crock of gold anywhere, but the European Investment Bank will lend at low rates for genuine projects where we can show a revenue stream and a cash return. There is no cash return in the leasing of social housing, as money is just being poured into...

Other Questions: Local Authority Housing Provision (4 Feb 2014)

Brian Stanley: I thank the Minister of State, but the problem is that she is only scratching the surface. There is a major housing crisis. The Minister said 185 council houses were built last year. There are more than 100,000 people on the waiting list. Housing need has doubled. In County Laois the housing waiting list has more than doubled over the last four years. Fewer than 500 NAMA properties have...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Electricity Generation (4 Feb 2014)

Brian Stanley: I hope the Minister is not taking account only of these 35,000 submissions but also of the opinions that will be expressed on 23 June. I hope that is not the motivation.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Electricity Generation (4 Feb 2014)

Brian Stanley: I am sorry - 23 May. I hope the 35,000 submissions have made the Minister realise that he needs to take a second look at this issue.

I hope it will not be a cut and paste version of the European Commission's report...
