Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (8 May 2024)

Brian Stanley: ...public services. Sinn Féin is offering part of the solution through a viable working alternative for affordable homes. Because the scheme we propose means homes would be built on serviced State land, it would reduce the initial price with the development levies being waived. It would ensure permanent affordability for subsequent buyers as the homes could be sold to another buyer...

Brian Stanley: ...the word "complex". For anyone who has not seen the building, we know a certain about it from previous hearings at this stage. It would appear to be a substantial period residence on a plot of land with two cottages. Ms Campion also mentioned a work area. Is the work area part of the main house?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Inland Fisheries Ireland (25 Apr 2024)

Brian Stanley: I did not mean that in any bad way. However, it was landed with a number of fairly serious issues. The Comptroller and Auditor General is producing a report. If I heard him correctly, he mentioned that some significant issues will be reported on in that so presumably further information will emerge from that. We do not have that information yet so I do not want to prejudge that. The point...

Brian Stanley: ...things about this matter. The first concerns unaccompanied minors arriving in Ireland. They arrive and become Tusla's responsibility to deal with, home and process. These minors are, literally, landed at its front door. Supervision must be provided for these children in bed and breakfast accommodation, which obviously creates great difficulty. Has the Department, which has...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022 - Tusla-Child and Family Agency (29 Feb 2024)

Brian Stanley: This problem has been landed on Tusla. I do not want to say it is a problem but the responsibility for this has landed into Tusla's office. I want to try to figure out what is happening here. Tusla had 1,200 children in two years and approximately 600 of those - 550 or so - were from Ukraine. Has Mr. Delaney's Department contacted the Ukrainian Embassy to find out why and how minors are...

However, we have huge resources issues and huge problems with getting suitable accommodation. The tap is still turned on...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (29 Feb 2024)

Brian Stanley: ...school. The issue was that it was being held up and the costs were increasing, and the special school could not be built. Those accommodation works have now been cleared out of the way. The HSE owned the land, hence the reason we are writing to the HSE. The Department of Education is obviously involved. I publicly thank the HSE, and Bernard Gloster in particular, for ensuring there...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (18 Jan 2024)

Brian Stanley: ...to the Department of Education for an update on the matters raised. Is that agreed? Agreed. I will add one point.

It is a special needs school for children with profound psychological and physical disabilities. It has been going on for years. The school is...

Brian Stanley: Was a phone call made to the county manager? The area I am in has a fairly good housing programme and it can be seen in the land aggregation scheme, LAGS, from the documentation supplied that a lot of the sites are active and I am familiar with a lot of them. However, four local authorities did not build any houses.

They are nearly all either active or a plan is in place for them, including the ones in Portlaoise and Rathdowney. I will ask about the one in Mountrath. The HSE may want a site on that. The officials might be able to tell me whether there has been agreement on the...
