Housing Policy: Motion (Resumed). (22 Nov 2006)

Pat Carey: I welcome the opportunity to address this issue. There is no doubt that it has occupied more talking time in the House than almost any other topic. Before I came into the House I saw the Labour Party as the party of fresh, new and ambitious ideas but the motion tabled tonight lacks ambition, fresh ideas and vision, though I do not disagree with a lot of it. I will raise a few points that...

Housing Policy: Motion (Resumed). (22 Nov 2006)

Pat Carey: For example, RTE must have 25 or 30 acres of land adjoining its single storey building with lots of car parking spaces.

I am sorry there is nothing fresh, ambitious or new in what the Labour Party has to offer.

Estimates for Public Services 2007: Motion (Resumed) (22 Nov 2006)

Pat Carey: I am sure they are glued to monitors as I speak. They effectively suggest the introduction of boot camps run by members of the Defence Forces. One Fine Gael representative, whom I know quite well and for whom I have much respect, proposes that deviant people, adults or children, be ghettoised in one part of the city. I hope Fine Gael is simply being facetious because if that is a real...

Estimates for Public Services 2007: Motion (Resumed) (22 Nov 2006)

Pat Carey: There is an increase of €16 million in funding for the youth justice service. The crime diversion programmes, as Deputy O'Sullivan knows better than I, thrive throughout the country. I have been critical of some and repeat that each should have two workers because employing a single worker is insufficient and represents bad practice. It is important to place young people in the care of...
