Housing for All: Statements (Resumed) (29 Sep 2021)

Maurice Quinlivan: ...own modest targets for social and affordable homes. In the past four years, only 4,326 social homes were built. I mentioned the housing waiting lists in Limerick.

We are past the point of crisis...

Maurice Quinlivan: ...thought seems to be of profit. The Business Postreported last Sunday that the Government has been lobbied extensively by its developer friends. There is no surprise in that for any of us. The long-suffering investors and developers can lobby the Minister of State and his colleagues and be helped by them. The people I speak for are not offered exemption clauses. I would rather speak for...

Companies (Corporate Enforcement Authority) Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (21 Sep 2021)

Maurice Quinlivan: ...committee I chair at the moment. The establishment of a corporate enforcement authority as a stand-alone entity is a very positive and welcome step, and I want to put that on the record.

They damage the international reputation of the State and impact on the price that...

Maurice Quinlivan: ...leave the rental accommodation within the notice period, the penalties are restrictive.

Maurice Quinlivan: ...himself has met these survivors. He made both public and private commitments to them on this. He was vocal on the matter in opposition and before the general election. The time for review has long passed. These men deserve and, as a matter of fairness, must be provided with redress. It is long past the time for the Government to act. The abuser of these men was convicted in court in...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Child Abuse (1 Jun 2021)

Maurice Quinlivan: ...international law but our Government has openly flouted a decision of the European Court of Human Rights on its liability for sexual abuse for seven and a half years and counting. It is disgraceful how long these men have been waiting for answers. In 2009, their abuser was convicted but they were excluded from any redress. In 2014, Louise O'Keeffe won her case in Europe.
