Committee on Housing and Homelessness: Irish Refugee Council (19 May 2016)

Like a number of colleagues, I represent a constituency that has a significant asylum and direct provision community in Clondalkin.

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: Irish Refugee Council (19 May 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: I have two points arising from Deputy Brassil's contribution. One of the problems, for example, is that there is a requirement when a person from outside Ireland is applying for social housing to provide documentation to prove they do not own property in another country. Obviously if that person has fled a country due to war or whatever, providing that documentation is almost impossible....

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: Pavee Point (19 May 2016)

For those of us who represent constituencies with significant Traveller communities, we spend a lot of time working on exactly the issues that Ms Fay has outlined.

What is really significant about Tyrrelstown is that what the witnesses are experiencing was...

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: Tyrrelstown Residents (19 May 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: It would be useful for the committee to have that information prior to the Minister attending it. Obviously, the Tyrrelstown residents’ request is that the committee asks the new Minister what he will do with the request put to the former Minister, Deputy Alan Kelly, some months ago. There are ways for the State to facilitate the purchase of these houses. Putting in place such...

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: Tyrrelstown Residents (19 May 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: Going back to the presentation, it is not that there is a simple choice between us calling on the banks or, in this case, the investment funds to do something or else the State picks up the full tab. There are a range of options available and the difficulty with Deputy Durkan's point is that the Minister, Deputy Noonan, will not agree with the kind of legislation required to make those...
