Question put and agreed to.
- Housing Targets and Regulations: Motion [Private Members] (6 Mar 2024)
Brendan Howlin: I thank the Minister of State for his comments on the Labour Party, but I should say that attacks on the Labour Party are not personal. They are attacks in defence of self interest and they only reinforce us in our determination to advance our policy platform. Since recovery from the financial crash which brought about the collapse of Ireland’s construction industry, the issue of...

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: I thank all those who have contributed to our debate on housing today. It is the great civil rights issue of our time, the ability to live in safety and security. We thank the Minister of State for not opposing the motion and for his comments on the Labour Party. The Minister of State referred to solutions on a European level. I believe that is where the housing Minister is now. We...

Violet-Anne Wynne: I commend the Labour Party on the opportunity to highlight in this House the housing crisis. It is also welcome to hear that the Government is not opposing the motion.

Brendan Howlin: What?
- Housing Targets and Regulations: Motion [Private Members] (6 Mar 2024)
Richard O'Donoghue: I will talk straight here. Every Government that has come in here, including Labour of old, said it would build. That party had the Minister with responsibility for housing, Deputy Alan Kelly, at one time and built nothing while it was there. They are full of wind. It is like they are going to huff, they are going to puff and they are going to blow your house down. They are going to huff...
- Housing Targets and Regulations: Motion [Private Members] (6 Mar 2024)
Danny Healy-Rae: I have only a minute but there are a few things that need to be recognised. On voids, there is a house in the heart of the town of Killarney that has been vacant for five years. The Department is refusing to fund the €110,000 needed to bring that house back into use. That is only one of them. This rule where tenants cannot purchase a county council house if it was built after...

Duncan Smith: On a point of order, in relation to Deputy O'Donoghue's contribution, whatever about the slings and arrows and banter back and forth, there was a number of references to straitjackets there. This House has done a lot of work in relation to mental health.
