Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: ...contributions, whether there is an issue with awareness, and typically how much a farmer can expect from the environmental schemes. I am sure it varies depending on the type of farming and the type of land. Typically what are we speaking about in terms of the amount of money that will be involved next year?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Community Development Projects (30 Jan 2024)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: ...raising it. The previous funding scheme was welcome but many community organisations perhaps did not have things lined up in time or were not in a position to make the application, between land, funding and other issues. I regularly receive questions about when there will be another call and what it will look like.

Housing and Homeless Prevention: Motion [Private Members] (23 Jan 2024)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: ...fact. At the start of this Dáil term, we had a debate on whether we had a housing emergency. The Government came back and forth, again and again, on whether it was an emergency. It eventually landed and ended up accepting that it was an emergency. The truth is that there has never been an emergency response. Not under the confidence and supply arrangement, and not since the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Safe Deposit Boxes and Related Deposits Bill 2022: Discussion (24 May 2023)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: ...deeds might be very valuable or useful. If such people are not related or connected to the person who lodged those title deeds, that becomes complicated. Is there potentially a function for the Land Registry and the Department of Justice in terms of reuniting title deeds with people with-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Safe Deposit Boxes and Related Deposits Bill 2022: Discussion (24 May 2023)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: ...be an issue for people who have an imperfect title and an unregistered property. A lot of these would be older people with properties that have not been sold in the past 20 or 30 years since the Land Registry was established. There would not be digitised deeds for properties like that, as I understand it.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Junior Cycle Examination Results 2022: State Examinations Commission (25 Oct 2022)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: ...cohorts doing the leaving certificate are not disadvantaged compared with the others. I have spoken to people in secondary schools and they talk about, to use that dreadful phrase, "a soft landing", in regard to the adjustments that might have to be made. Can Ms Feeney give an account in that regard? Will the complications with regard to how long it takes to deliver the results continue...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Education and Supports Provision for Displaced Ukrainian Students: Discussion (14 Jun 2022)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: ...is for those with special educational needs. Another category of children about which I am concerned is that of children who are midway through, or towards the end of, post-primary school and are landing with more or less no English. They may have time to catch up at an earlier stage in the school system, but if children are in third, fourth, fifth or sixth year and are landing into a...

Subsidies for Developers: Motion [Private Members] (18 May 2022)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: ...Cork. They are unaffordable and absolutely out of reach for people. This is not the way to go. I urge the Minister to put that €450 million into vacant homes and into building affordable houses on public land and making sure that they are actually at affordable prices.

Education (Voluntary Contributions) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (10 Mar 2022)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: ...away from the school gate. None of that is addressed in that other Bill. There is no statement from the Department saying that it will ever properly fund schools. Every month or two in every school, a bill lands from SSE Airtricity or some other provider for heat and light. The Department does not meet the full amount of that bill. The shortfall is made up by John Cotter, Eileen...

Statistics (Decade of Centenaries) Bill 2020: Second Stage [Private Members] (21 Oct 2021)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: ...have played a valuable role in that regard. It would be entirely logical. As far as I can see, there is no great sensitivity or principled Government or logical objection being offered. Rather, there is a desire to say this will be dealt with at a later date. There is a lot of useful information that could be of value to historians. It would give us a picture of the change in land...

Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Second Stage (15 Sep 2021)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: ...outside the specific sectors that are considering it but it potentially has significant ramifications for large parts of the country. The Bill consists of 245 pages setting out a planning regime for a maritime area that is seven times the footprint of the land mass of the State. It is enormous. This is once-in-a-generation legislation, so it is crucial that we get it right. There...

Written Answers — Department of Education and Skills: Schools Building Projects (1 Jun 2021)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: 432. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if it was the intention of her Department to award land on or adjacent to the site known as Abeline Lodge, Newtownpark Avenue, Blackrock, County Dublin to the winner of the 2018 primary school plebiscite; if that site was offered for this purpose; if that intention has since changed or such offer retracted; and the grounds upon which such...

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: 433. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if lands on or adjacent to the site known as Abeline Lodge, Newtownpark Avenue, Blackrock, County Dublin have been deemed unsuitable for the building of a primary school; and if so, if there are no current or future plans for a primary school to be built on the lands. [29796/21]

Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (18 May 2021)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: ...criteria in this regard are getting tighter all the time. Homeownership is becoming increasingly out of reach, no matter how hard people work. The reality is that the solution is about public homes on public land, and no end of tax breaks for vulture funds or cuckoo funds will crack it. Until the Government brings forward proposals that will work, we will not back them. We are going to...

Private Security Services (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (6 May 2021)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: ...are just the instances that were recorded or came to media attention. Doubtless, this is an issue which has arisen in dozens of cases, or perhaps more, throughout the State. In every county in Ireland, banks, financial institutions and powerful organisations hire anyone they want to enforce evictions and court orders and who can do anything they want with no accountability or recourse...

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (6 May 2021)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: ...taxi drivers as partners in this and give them greater support. Local authorities have large estates of property. They need to do more to ensure they are generating energy from their buildings and from their lands. Some local authorities are good in that regard. The role of green apprenticeships is crucial as well with significant potential to create a great deal of employment. ...

Housing Shared Equity Loan Scheme: Motion [Private Members] (3 Mar 2021)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: ...communities they want to live in. The solution is in cost rental and cost purchase. If I were the Minister, I would look to the fact that most local authorities around the State have banks of land they would love to build affordable housing on. However, unless something is done to assist them with the debt attached to that land, it will hold back schemes, for example, in Cork city...

Regulation of Private Security Firms Bill 2019: Second Stage [Private Members] (12 Nov 2020)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: ...State, Deputy James Browne, recognise the value of this Bill. It is important to point out that evictions hit a very raw nerve for people in this country. What happened during the Famine and the Land War, and everything connected to those events, is seared into our collective memory. It offends us emotionally to think of people being forced out of their home unjustly, because they cannot...
