Financial Resolutions 2022 - Financial Resolution No. 6 – General (Resumed) (28 Sep 2022)

Mary Lou McDonald: There is no progress to be found in the budget measures for social and affordable housing. There is no increase in capital spending, no increase to the paltry targets the Government has missed time and again, and no credible action plan to stem record homelessness. In this budget the Government blatantly ignores the lived experiences of a generation locked out of affordable housing as the...

Financial Resolutions 2022 - Financial Resolution No. 6 – General (Resumed) (28 Sep 2022)

Mary Lou McDonald: This budget comes at a time when our people are struggling with the most serious cost-of-living crisis in 40 years. The challenges households face are reminiscent of those that people faced in the late 1970s and the 1980s. Families find it very hard to make it to the end of the week. Soaring energy bills and motor fuel costs, extortionate rents and sharp increases in the price of food have...

Financial Resolutions 2022 - Financial Resolution No. 6 – General (Resumed) (28 Sep 2022)

It shows that the Government is not prepared to do what must be done to protect households really in the here and now and that it has no plan for a future in which all of our...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (28 Sep 2022)

Mary Lou McDonald: Sinn Féin has consistently and repeatedly called on Government to tackle the extortionate rents that are crippling workers, families and students. We told the Government the way to do this is by cutting rents through a refundable tax credit equivalent to one month's rent and, crucially, by banning rent increases for three years. We were very clear. Both measures must go together in...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (28 Sep 2022)

Mary Lou McDonald: The Government's record in office is that a housing crisis has morphed into a housing disaster. As a matter of fact, and for the record, since the Government took office, annual rents have increased by €3,600 in Dublin and €2,800 across the State. That is the Government's record. The facts speak for themselves. I am raising the issue of renters, specifically those who rent,...
