Deputies: Hear, hear.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (2 Jul 2024)
Simon Harris: I, too, want to begin by paying tribute to Deputies Shortall and Catherine Murphy on their significant decision. I want to acknowledge them both as very formidable politicians. I believe Deputy Shortall is the longest serving female TD in the history of our State. That in and of itself is an historic record that deserves commendation. Through her work on Sláintecare, she brought...

Joan Collins: People cannot afford them.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (2 Jul 2024)
Simon Harris: I will get to affordability. So far this year, we are seeing around 500 people per week buying their first home. Sometimes, we get the impression from Deputy McDonald that no one is buying a house and nothing is happening, but that is simply not the reality. On top of that on the social housing side of things, we saw the largest number of social houses allocated last year than at any...

- Appointment of Minister and Ministers of State (2 Jul 2024)
Simon Harris: I wish to announce for the information of the Dáil that having informed the President that Dáil Éireann had approved my nomination of Deputy Jack Chambers to be a member of the Government, the President on 26 June 2024 appointed him accordingly. On the same day, I assigned the Department of Finance to Deputy Jack Chambers. On 27 June 2024, on my nomination, the Government...

Mary Lou McDonald: I heard the news that our colleagues Deputies Róisín Shortall and Catherine Murphy have announced they are not going forward for re-election. I acknowledge them as two mighty and formidable women in leadership. I wish them both the very best in the future. A moment of girl power, I feel, which is rare enough in these Chambers. Two thirds of people believe it is harder than...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to Construction Sector: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)
Richard Bruton: Yes. I absolutely agree with this statement from the building council that we cannot tackle the three environmental crises we are facing without transitioning to a more circular construction industry. What I am hearing from the CIF, however, is that, like the Kerryman, "I would not start from here." That seems to be the dilemma we are trying to reconcile here. The first question I would...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to Construction Sector: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)
Richard Bruton: Is it difficult to turn a three-bedroom house into a duplex with a downstairs unit and a two-storey overhead? It strikes me that this is very difficult to do in Ireland.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to Construction Sector: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)
Richard Bruton: Will the Irish Green Building Council look at this? It is a very practical way of starting to get better occupancy of our existing buildings, if that could be done relatively easy. It is very standard. The appearance of a street would not dramatically change because it would be duplex. Perhaps the next time the witnesses are here they will have done an evaluation of whether all the...
- Report of the Select Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Motion (27 Jun 2024)
Patricia Ryan: I assure the Acting Chair that I will not take the ten minutes allocated to me. On behalf of the committee, I thank all the stakeholders. Their work was invaluable to us. The amount of work the civil servants have put in has been invaluable. I like to think that, down the road, the report will not be left gathering dust on a shelf but will be implemented and will be a launching pad for a...
