Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Future Funding of Public Service Broadcasting: Discussion (10 Dec 2019)

Jan O'Sullivan: I will be brief. I am not a member of the committee, but I welcome the opportunity to ask questions.

My questions mainly relate to Lyric FM and the proposals to move the service to Dublin and Cork. I welcome the fact that RTÉ...

On the use of public land, I am convinced there is an ideological policy that requires local authorities to use the majority of...

Housing Solutions: Statements (5 Dec 2019)

Jan O'Sullivan: We need clarity in that regard because there are many tracts of public land for which the council could very quickly put out a tender for one or more builders to come in and get on with using the land. I ask the Minister of State to address that issue in his reply. Many Deputies have referred to the Ó Cualann model whereby a voluntary co-operative housing association has been able...

Housing Solutions: Statements (5 Dec 2019)

Jan O'Sullivan: I will begin by supporting Deputy Ward's call for an end to self-accommodation. It is one of the most difficult aspects of homelessness for children. There are almost 4,000 homeless children in the country and the idea that they do not know where they will be from one night to the next is appalling. During last night's no confidence debate I referred to a study conducted by the Royal...

Jan O'Sullivan: I apologise for being late; I was speaking in the Chamber on homelessness. There is certainly an issue regarding Bahrain and human rights, but we are dealing with the status of the RCSI in Ireland, and I have no reason to object to the status being granted. It has, rightly, gone through a rigorous examination, as the Minister of State said. The granting of university status should not...

Confidence in the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government: Motion [Private Members] (3 Dec 2019)
