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

Eoin Ó Broin: They are waiting for the property prices to appreciate to make up losses on investments made pre-2008. That is the problem.

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: Professor P. J. Drudy, Trinity College Dublin (10 May 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank Professor Drudy for his presentation. My questions will attempt to tease out different aspects. One of the points that is often lost in the debate is when those of us who advocate a return to large-scale social housing build relates to the fact that we are only advocating on behalf of those who will live in those houses as opposed to, as the professor said, reducing the pressure on...

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: Professor P. J. Drudy, Trinity College Dublin (10 May 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: What would that be in numerical terms? If there was to be 30%, how many social housing units would that be?

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: Mercy Law Resource Centre (10 May 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank Ms Regan for her presentation. I warmly congratulate her for the report itself. A fair number of members were at the launch. It has been a long time since I have attended the launch of an NGO sector document in Buswells Hotel that was as well attended. That says much about both Mercy Law Resource Centre and this issue. I recommend that people read the report. It is a short...

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: National Asset Management Agency (12 May 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: Mr. Daly said earlier that repaying the debt was NAMA's top priority. I do not need to remind him that is not what the NAMA Act says. The Act gives NAMA a number of tasks. Section 2(b)(viii) of the Act talks about contributing "to the social and economic development of the State". Mr. Daly went on to say that in his view, repaying the debt is the best social dividend. I would have thought...

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: National Asset Management Agency (12 May 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: Until recently, I was a councillor on a local authority that worked extensively on this issue. I understand some of these dynamics. I am conscious that it is important in these public sessions to challenge the suggestion that local authorities are simply not taking units by putting it on the record that the picture is more complex.

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: National Asset Management Agency (12 May 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: It is.

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: National Asset Management Agency (12 May 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: We had two of the most senior housing managers in the country, from Dublin City Council and South Dublin County Council, at our first session. They told us that after the planning stage has passed, the tendering and procurement stage can take between a year and a half and two years. The shortened process that was made available for the rapid build project in Ballymun is currently available...

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: National Asset Management Agency (12 May 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: NAMA is funding them and that does not happen with their competitors who are outside of NAMA, but that is a separate issue.

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: National Asset Management Agency (12 May 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: On an item of information that is relevant to the question, I thought the Land Registry actually has on its map a designation for land relating to NAMA and that this is differentiated from other land.

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: Dublin Homeless Network, Limerick and Clare Homeless Alliance, Cork Social Housing Forum (12 May 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: I commend the organisations represented here today and the other organisations represented by the network. We see today that the official homelessness figures of the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government are at their highest point ever, with 6,000 people, including almost 2,000 children, affected. To put this in context, the official figures from the Department in...
