- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Sports Funding (19 Sep 2024)
Thomas Byrne: I thank everyone who has been in touch. Most Deputies have been in touch about particular clubs in their areas. We will satisfy the demand under the community sports facilities fund, which is what we are now calling the sports capital programme. Most clubs will be very satisfied with that. As for large-scale projects – and I will get the figures at some point for Deputy...

- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Fire Safety (19 Sep 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: It is almost two years since the Minister, Deputy O’Brien, made a commitment to introduce an interim fire safety remediation scheme for people impacted by Celtic tiger-era defects. That scheme opened almost a year ago. As the Minister knows, it has beset by significant delays, many of which, in my view, are of the Minister’s making. Can the Minister give an update on where...

Darragh O'Brien: The interim fire safety scheme is in place now. It is a complex arrangement. At the outset, I thank the stakeholders and the residents in particular, including the Construction Defects Alliance, the Apartment Owners Network and Not Our Fault, which have engaged in a really constructive manner. Yesterday, I received Government approval for the priority drafting of the main scheme...

Eoin Ó Broin: Like the Minister, I meet many of the affected homeowners and tenants in these properties. They have been enormously frustrated by the significant delays which would have been entirely avoidable had the Minister and his officials taken on board the detailed advice from Dublin Fire Brigade and others last year and early this year, rather than leaving it to the last minute in June, July and...

Darragh O'Brien: First, I reject any assertion there have been delays in bringing this forward. We want to make sure the interim fire defects scheme works for people and residents. That is why I have engaged personally with literally hundreds of residents and their representative groups on this issue. The legislation we agreed yesterday is very important too. It will go to the Oireachtas joint committee...

Catherine Connolly: Níl fadhb ar bith agam maidir le taighde neamhspleách agus tá gá leis, ach bronnadh an conradh bliain is trí mhí ó shin. Tá an freagra ceannann céanna, focal ar fhocal. Ba chóir go mbéadh níos mó eolais againn ag an bpointe seo. Bhí téarmaí tagartha i gceist. Bhí téarma i gceist. Cén uair a...

Thomas Byrne: Tá súil agam go mbeidh sé seo foilsithe go gairid agus tá mé ag súil leis. Caithfidh mé a rá arís nach bhfuil aon tionchar polaitiúil air seo. Tá sé go hiomlán neamhspleách. Caithfidh muid fanacht air. Tógann na rudaí seo píosa ama. Ní féidir iad a dhéanamh faoi dheifir, agus tá mise...
