- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Sep 2024)
Simon Harris: The Government's Cabinet committee on housing will meet in early October and the Government will shortly thereafter set the new housing targets for 2025 to 2030. As the Deputy knows, the completion of the new national planning framework is an important part of that. The national planning framework has been out to consultation. I am sure the Deputy and many others have had a chance to...

Simon Harris: Not one of you sought this at the Business Committee. For those watching the theatrics at home, none of the Deputies dissented to the Order of Business and then they come to the House asking why we are not having a debate on housing. The reason is because they did not raise it.

Simon Harris: We will call a vote and they will be upset about the business but none of them bothered dissenting at the meeting. Let us have a little bit of fairness and give and take here. Deputy McGrath's commitment to investment in water services is something we share. The Government is very keen to do more in relation to water. Irish Water as a vehicle is delivering but investing more in its...

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Yes, Deputy.

Danny Healy-Rae: It is fairly hard for any Deputy in the House to get elected. For each Deputy, it is a difficult ordeal. Notwithstanding that, it is easy enough to come up from Kerry. There are no restrictions all the way on the road up but it is getting increasingly more difficult to come into this building. On my way, I went out of the Dáil and I wanted to come back up through Molesworth Street....

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: All right Deputy. There are security measures in place because of threatened protest outside. We did not want to see happening today what happened on our return last September. The Superintendent circulated to every Member the details of how access could be achieved. I accept that it is problematic for Members and I am quite prepared to talk to them offline about how we might improve...

Ivana Bacik: I welcome the Government's commitment to establish a commission of investigation in the wake of the awful revelations about abuse of children in religious-run schools as illustrated in Mary O’Toole’s scoping inquiry. I also pay tribute to Mark and David Ryan. Can we have clarity from the Taoiseach on the timing of when the Government will introduce the terms of reference,...

Cian O'Callaghan: The Taoiseach has claimed that 40,000 new-build homes would be completed this year. A report from the Central Bank published this morning rubbishes this claim and states it will be 8,000 homes short. Does the Taoiseach accept the findings of the Central Bank report? Given that another report published today shows that house prices have increased by 10% in the past 12 months, will the...

Mattie McGrath: I welcome the Ceann Comhairle’s statement on the bike shed. I understood from discussions at the Business Committee meeting that a party leader here asked for another bike shed to be built in the front yard of Leinster House. Maybe we could get clarity on that. The situation with Irish Water is just untenable. This was an outfit set up by the former Minister, Phil Hogan, and the...
