An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (2 Jul 2024)

Ivana Bacik: I acknowledge, as others have done, the announcement today by Deputies Shortall and Catherine Murphy and I add my voice to those wishing them well. As Deputy McDonald has said, it is rare to see an outbreak of girl power in this House, or women power as I prefer to say. There are far too few women here and it makes their extensive careers in public service all the more noteworthy. I...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (2 Jul 2024)

Simon Harris: I thank Deputy Pringle for raising two important issues which are clearly intertwined here - the issue of concrete blocks and particularly the devastating impact that is having in his constituency to community childcare facilities. He made specific reference to Ardara but also referred to Raphoe and Letterkenny. The Department of children is aware of the service in Ardara and it is aware of...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (2 Jul 2024)

Thomas Pringle: I thank the Taoiseach for his response. I also thank the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, because it is vital that this is recognised. This requires a whole-of-government approach. This is a crisis that will only get worse. Community buildings, private buildings, factories and farm buildings across Donegal will all be collapsing over the next few years because of the defective concrete crisis....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Residential Tenancies Board: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank Mr. Keegan and his team for the presentation. I acknowledge the very significant amount of information that the team at the RTB provides when many of us ask for it, both through the online system and over the phone. I acknowledge that because I know folks are very busy. It is greatly appreciated. It will probably be a pity that we do not have the annual report before the meeting...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Residential Tenancies Board: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: Senator Cummins will keep him here as long as he can. We are normally a tag team. First of all, can the witnesses give us any further information as to where things are with the CSO and the RTB in terms of the correlation or the gap between the two sets of figures? I know one is registrations and the other is declarations in the census. Can the witnesses tell those of us who are too...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Residential Tenancies Board: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: Can Ms Crimin share with us the figure for registrations at the end of 2023?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Residential Tenancies Board: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: I only have 55 seconds left but will Ms Crimin address AHB bulk registration and the recruitment and training of adjudicators? According to the clock, she has 20 seconds for each.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Residential Tenancies Board: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: Is there a timeline for that?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Residential Tenancies Board: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: What about recruitment and training for adjudicators?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Residential Tenancies Board: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: Given that the report is due to be published, it might be a nice idea for the RTB to be asked to provide a briefing to members after we have had time to absorb it so we can go through some of the questions we would otherwise have gone through today if we had seen it. That might be something we could do over the summer.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (2 Jul 2024)

Mick Barry: Let us talk about tomorrow. Tomorrow, representatives of Aer Lingus will walk into the Labour Court. This is a company which made €225 million profits last year and is part of an international group which made €3.5 billion in profit, and its representatives will sit across the table from pilots who have not had a pay increase in five years. Of course, I do not want to see a...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (2 Jul 2024)

Simon Harris: It seems we have the spokesperson for pilots before profit today. I thank Deputy Barry for that intervention. My position is very clear. It is crystal clear and could not be clearer. It is not for me on the floor of the Dáil, or respectfully for the Deputy, though he is perfectly entitled to, to give a view on which side is to blame, to apportion blame or to accuse one side of being...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (2 Jul 2024)

Mick Barry: To oppose union busting?

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (2 Jul 2024)

Simon Harris: It is now reported that the Labour Court has requested that both parties submit final written submissions by close of business today. Let that be the focus, let there be a court hearing tomorrow and let us find a resolution in this dispute for once and for all in order that people can go on their holidays and go about their business.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (2 Jul 2024)

Thomas Pringle: I visited the Ardara Community Childcare centre yesterday and I was horrified to see the effect the defective blocks are having on the building. Ardara Community Childcare opened a purpose-built premises in the heart of Ardara town in 2007 after securing funding from the EU's special support programme for peace and reconciliation and with the help of many local funding initiatives in Ardara....

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (2 Jul 2024)

Simon Harris: I am a bit perplexed. I would say the Deputy must have struggled on this dispute. I did not see this coming but maybe I should have. It is highly regrettable that any Member of this House would cast an aspersion on the Labour Court. We have a long-standing industrial relations mechanism in this country, with both the Workplace Relations Commission and the Labour Court, that is a key...
