Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Vacant Properties (11 Apr 2024) See 14 other results from this debate

Violet-Anne Wynne: I echo the comments congratulating the Minister of State, Deputy Dillon, on his new position. I point to the statistics about two towns in County Clare and the vacancy rates that have been experienced there in recent years. The most recent statistics show that Kilrush is at 24.6% and Shannon town is at 29.8%. I flag that with the Minister and Ministers of State today. The Minister of...

Malcolm Noonan: To reiterate, and this was debated extensively during Committee Stage of the planning Bill, it is the responsibility of local authorities and the planning authority, which is included in the development plan. Local authorities are required to develop a strategy for the provision of housing for the existing and future population of their area. Section 95 of the 2000 Act further requires: ...

Eoin Ó Broin: How is it possible at a time of rising social housing output that homelessness is also rising? The answer is simple. The targets the Government has set in its plan are too low and it is not meeting those targets. The Minister is correct that just over 8,000 new-build social homes were delivered last year, which is 1,000 short of the Government's target. When you look at the total number...

Pádraig O'Sullivan: We obviously do not expect the Minister to announce details of any proposed scheme on the floor of the House. I do not think the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, who is chairing the group, would thank him if he did. Are we working towards a deadline? Are there a specified number of meetings where a decision has to be arrived at? Will the Minister elaborate on the process that is left?...

Pearse Doherty: To be clear, what the banks are proposing here is 0% loans to those with affected homes. They are going to provide this to non-bank customers - people who do not have accounts, borrowings or mortgages with them. This is for everybody. The easiest way for this to happen is actually for the Department itself to do it. Instead of having to go through the bank, the Department should provide...

Gerald Nash: It has to be kept under review. It fact, the Minister should make a clear statement here today that he is actively considering deferring the planned increases in August and October, respectively, which will make the differential between retail prices in the South vis-à-vis the North much more significant. The Minister is quite correct. When people cross the Border from Drogheda or...

Michael McGrath: When it comes to employment, we have made important progress. There are complexities where you have an existing contract of employment in place in the private sector that specifies a retirement age that is mandatory in nature at a certain point in time. However, beyond the existing contracts, it will be possible to make change and I know that is a policy area the Department of Enterprise,...

Pearse Doherty: In budget 2024, the Minister introduced this tax credit and that was, as I said, after sustained calls from Sinn Féin for the introduction of mortgage interest relief for households that had seen their mortgage rates spiral, but there are serious problems with the tax credit, as I told him at the time. I have raised the fact that 138,000 mortgage holders who have their seen their...
