- Property Services (Land Price Register) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (26 May 2022)
Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Thank you very much Minister. That is probably not the response Deputy O'Callaghan wanted to hear but sin é an scéal.
- Property Services (Land Price Register) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (26 May 2022)
Cian O'Callaghan: I thank the Minister for the comprehensive response. Indeed, it is not the one I wanted to hear but I appreciate that significant work and analysis went into it. In terms of the way we brought forward this Bill and the intention behind it, we would have been happy to work through with the Government and compromise on the issues that she raised. We are aware of the different issues she...

- Property Services (Land Price Register) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (26 May 2022)
Helen McEntee: I might not take all of my 20 minutes. I thank the Ceann Comhairle and Deputies Cian O'Callaghan and Nash. I am grateful for the opportunity to set out the Government's position on this Bill. At the outset, I want to inform the House that the Government must oppose this Bill. I will set out the reasons for that. It is not because we do not support greater transparency with respect to...
- Property Services (Land Price Register) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (26 May 2022)
Seán Ó Fearghaíl: I am aware of the standard procedure, but since only three speakers are offering, would it be acceptable to the Minister for Deputy Nash to contribute now? Rather than asking her to speak twice, she would be able to respond once to the debate. That seems to be a more practical approach. Is that acceptable to Deputy O'Callaghan?

- Property Services (Land Price Register) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (26 May 2022)
Gerald Nash: I am delighted to speak in support of Deputy O'Callaghan's Bill. I believe it has considerable merit and addresses a yawning gap in the measurement of wealth in this country. All the evidence suggests that land, property and housing generally are inextricably linked to wealth inequality. We know from successive reports from the Central Bank and from various reputable think tanks that the...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Medicinal Products (26 May 2022)
Pádraig O'Sullivan: The real answer to my question was near the end of the Minister of State's response, when she said that "a significant body of work" needs to be undertaken and it will "require extensive consultation and primary legislation". Halfway through the life of the Government, if there is substantive work to be done, we really need to start doing it. That is the reality. If legislation and...

Anne Rabbitte: I am happy to share some of my time to have allowed the Deputy to get in his last few words. He is correct in what he said. We must move away from the practice of saying why we are not doing a particular aspect of work. There is no denying that action on this issue is included in the programme for Government. As Minister of State, it is something I would like to see commencing, for all...

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: It is good to have the Minister of State's guests with us. Following on from the Minister of State's response to his question and with a view to being helpful to Deputy O'Sullivan, it appears to me that targeted questions focusing on the final part of the Minister of State's response and addressing the leadership, progression and timescales around the establishment of a national medicines...
