Simon Harris: I will tell the Deputy what we are delivering now. The Deputy has a leader and she did well there, so allow me to respond. We have already delivered 4,000 affordable homes. We have 21 local authorities so far-----

Simon Harris: -----and we are on track for more than 6,000 this year. I have shown the Deputies and, more important, the people at home, who do not want to see Sinn Féin playing politics with a crisis, how we are continuing to make progress. The Deputy asked how we are going to fix it. I will tell her how we will do it. We are going to deliver record supply this year. Already this year we have...

Ivana Bacik: I welcome the long-awaited publication yesterday of the three external reports examining governance, human resources and finances at RTÉ. As we review the content of those reports, however, people around the country are amazed and alarmed that our national broadcaster, the organisation to which they pay the TV licence fee every year, continues to be mired in controversy. In more than...

Simon Harris: I thank Deputy Bacik for raising this matter. I was very pleased that the Minister, Deputy Catherine Martin, yesterday brought to Government the three reviews into RTÉ that the Deputy referenced. These are the reviews prepared by the independent expert advisory committees, the review of governance and culture, and the review of contractor fees, HR and other matters in RTÉ. The...

Simon Harris: I thank Deputy McDonald for raising what I agree is a really important issue regarding housing. From going across the country and engaging with young people and their parents, I know that home ownership can still feel out of the reach of many people. We are working day and night to change that. We are working every single day to make progress. I am very happy to report progress, because...

Mary Lou McDonald: I mentioned a number of counties - Louth, Mayo, Sligo and Tipperary - and could have added Cavan, Leitrim, Offaly and Roscommon. These are the official figures. This is an official record of the Government's abysmal failure - the failure of the State to deliver affordable homes to purchase and rent. By the targets the Government set itself, it has failed. It is a big fail. I have never...

Mary Lou McDonald: We are now four weeks out from the most important local and European Union elections for a generation and housing is the number one talking point at the doors. It is the biggest issue by far for workers and families across the State. After 13 years of Fine Gael in government, the housing crisis has gone from bad to worse. Rip-off rents continue to rise, homelessness has hit record levels...
- Report of the Joint Committee on Enterprise, Trade and Employment: Motion (2 May 2024)
Dara Calleary: I covered all the main issues in my opening remarks. I thank the Deputies. Deputy Boyd Barrett's remarks are probably outside the scope of the report in terms of the enterprise opportunities. MARA has been established for offshore planning and has responsibilities there. To Deputy Stanton's point on skills, that is something we are focused on. Working with the Minister, Deputy...

- Report of the Joint Committee on Enterprise, Trade and Employment: Motion (2 May 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I apologise that I was not able to listen to much of the earlier discussion. I was busy with something else in this place. This is a very important issue. It is of particular interest in my area because there are plans for a very significant offshore renewable energy development off the east coast. As anybody who is concerned about the climate crisis we are facing knows, the starting...
- Report of the Joint Committee on Enterprise, Trade and Employment: Motion (2 May 2024)
David Stanton: I thank the Minister of State for his remarks. There is an offshore wind conference in Dublin today and I attended it for quite a while. I am buzzing after being there for most of the day. The interest in the room was amazing. The people there are hugely impressive in their expertise and enthusiasm to drive onward. The potential for Ireland from offshore renewable energy is virtually...
- Report of the Joint Committee on Enterprise, Trade and Employment: Motion (2 May 2024)
Louise O'Reilly: I thank our Chairperson, Deputy Quinlivan, and the secretariat staff of the Joint Committee on Enterprise, Trade and Employment for all of their work on this report. In a time of climate change and energy insecurity, there is an opportunity for industry and coastal communities, working together, to develop a new industrial sector supporting regional development, creating thousands of...
