Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2020: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (8 Dec 2020)

Rebecca Moynihan: At the post-draft stage elected members must submit amendments or suggestions on the basis that something has been discussed at the issues-based stage. It is clear that if they do not, if it has not been previously discussed or raised or raised by members, management rules it out of order. Can new issues be introduced at the issues stage? That is my understanding. I do not think that the...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 Dec 2020)

Rebecca Moynihan: I wish to raise the shocking "Prime Time" programme on overcrowding last week. I raised the issue a number of times in the context of the Residential Tenancies Bill and the budget. Hot-bedding is a phrase I never wanted to hear but I have heard it more than enough times in recent months. Unscrupulous private landlords and people who are subletting are letting rooms with bunk beds in it for...

Seanad: Annual Transition Statement on Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Act 2015: Statements (9 Dec 2020)

Rebecca Moynihan: I thank the Minister for coming before the House. Other Senators have pointed out that when he comes to the House he has a passion and understanding for his brief, as do his colleagues. It is no small measure that there has been a marked change in Government communication since the Green Party entered. I sincerely hope we get the type of climate Bill that some of the non-governmental...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Housing Assistance Payment: Discussion (15 Dec 2020)

Rebecca Moynihan: I thank the witnesses for coming in, for their briefing documents and for the work both organisations do in the housing sector. Threshold has been excellent in advocating for renters. One of the things that comes out in both presentations is the wider issue of insecurity in the private rented sector. This is not an issue of the housing assistance payment, HAP, but of the protections in...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 Dec 2020)

Rebecca Moynihan: I want to address the issue of two tents occupied by homeless people being set on fire yesterday in Dublin city centre. I imagine everybody across the House will condemn this type of criminal behaviour. I hope the Garda will do all in its power to bring those perpetrators to justice. To have something like that happen just before Christmas in the most vulnerable of situations must be...

Seanad: Planning and Development, and Residential Tenancies, Bill 2020: [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil] Report and Final Stages (17 Dec 2020)

Rebecca Moynihan: I am disappointed that the amendments, which are not far-reaching, are not being accepted. I refer, in particular, to the proposal to substitute five days with 28 days. We are asking people in vulnerable tenancies in the middle of a pandemic, just after Christmas, to register their tenancy as being in financial arrears and engage with MABS, which, as Senator Warfield said, involves going...
