Committee on Housing and Homelessness: Banking and Payments Federation Ireland (5 May 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank Mr. Brett for the presentation and the supporting documentation. If this committee is to have any value, it will identify, with the help of the witnesses, I hope, things that can be done that are not currently being done to improve circumstances, particularly for those experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. We are less interested in people justifying what they have...

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: Banking and Payments Federation Ireland (5 May 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: That is an important point. The sum of €280,000 is not actually the average price for a first-time buyer in Dublin and is not based on any research; it is just a guess.

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: Irish League of Credit Unions (5 May 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank Mr. Farrell and Mr. Knox for the presentation. I wish to express some frustration, which I am sure the ILCU feels, at its having made what I thought was a really important proposal last year but we are still waiting for formal Government response. I acknowledge that and share the frustration. I have a couple of specific questions in the context of strongly welcoming the proposal...

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: Irish League of Credit Unions (5 May 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: On the pilot, local authorities would not be willing to do something without departmental approval either. It is often the case, as much with the Central Bank as with the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government, that the reluctance is when they are presented with a big, new initiative. Convincing them of the merits of that bigger initiative through the development of a...

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: Irish League of Credit Unions (5 May 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: I have a practical suggestion. There is much sympathy for the ILCU's position. The witnesses said the key problem is the Central Bank, as the regulator, and the rules it imposes on credit unions. If the witnesses have specific recommendations of changes to the investment regulations or any other aspect which they would like to submit to the committee by e-mail, it could be very helpful for...

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: Master of the High Court (10 May 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank Mr. Honohan, not only for his presentation but also for his interventions on this subject since last year. I think many of us have been following them with great interest, and they have been very helpful to our considerations. He has made the position very clear. I would, however, would be interested in him maybe applying his general observations to a couple of specific policy...

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: Master of the High Court (10 May 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: To go back to the issue of rent certainty, what Mr. Honohan has stated is if, for example, legislation were introduced to apply rent certainty to the private rental market in general, there should not be a constitutional issue so long as it meets a general policy or social need. It is only if it were applied to specific categories-----

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: Master of the High Court (10 May 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: I mean rent certainty in terms of linking rent reviews to the consumer price index, for example, which is a form of rent control which provides rent certainty. My point is if it applied to the rental market in general, it probably would not fall foul of the law and it is only if it applied to specific sectors that it might do. Is this what Mr. Honohan is saying?

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: Law Society of Ireland (10 May 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank Mr. Sweetman and Ms Naughton for their presentations. Regarding the CPOs, much of the discussion we have been having is less to do with land and more to do with the compulsory purchase of vacant units that are not on the market or the use of CPOs to buy packages of mortgages that have been sold on to funds, or whatever we call them, at a discount. There is a question of whether a...
