An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Oct 2024)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: It is not agreed. There is a motion to be decided without debate before the Dáil tomorrow night to increase the cap on the defective concrete blocks scheme by 10%. The difficulty is large numbers are engaged in the scheme - the Minister, Deputy O'Brien, is here for this - who will be short tens of thousands of euro. In some cases, it is more than €100,000. It is crucial that...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Oct 2024)

Simon Harris: I thank Deputy Lowry for this important question in relation to aviation policy and indeed the role of Shannon Airport. More broadly, on the passenger cap at Dublin Airport, as the Deputy knows this arises from a 2007 condition attached to planning permission for terminal 2. I do not believe a 17-year-old decision holding back growth in 2024 to be a sustainable situation. I engaged with...

Eoin Ó Broin: -----or from the presentation.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Analysis of Private Rental Sector Discrepancies: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Oct 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: From what has been said, from a statistical point of view there is a stronger basis to say the "formal" ones are formal because they kind of match the dataset from the RTB registrations. The exclusion of the 47,000 is a consequence because they do not match.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Analysis of Private Rental Sector Discrepancies: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Oct 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: One of the issues we were all thinking about when the different set, as we are now calling it, first emerged was the treatment of licensees. I ask this question for my own clarity: if I own a house and Deputy O'Callaghan rents a room in the house as a licensee, how is that recorded in the census? If I am the homeowner and head of the household, obviously I fill out the census and licensees...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Analysis of Private Rental Sector Discrepancies: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Oct 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: Would that categorisation facilitate a person who does not have exclusive occupation of a portion of the property and is just renting a room? Would such a person fit that category of a household for the purposes of filling a second form?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Analysis of Private Rental Sector Discrepancies: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Oct 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: Is there any way for the CSO, perhaps as part of this exercise, to attempt to match or look at where two separate census forms were filled in for a single property to try to establish things? I appreciate that all of this is tricky. I do not mean it as a criticism in any way when I say that 47,000 "possible informal" arrangements seems potentially too large. It is worthy of interrogating...
