Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (5 Nov 2024)

Simon Harris: Deputy McDonald is terribly confident about the outcome of the next election when she says I am walking out the door for the final time and all of this sort of stuff. It is good to see the arrogance is back. The reality is that this Government took a responsible decision today. We decided to set housing targets for the next five years to show people how, over the period from now to 2030,...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (5 Nov 2024)

Simon Harris: We can credibly show people how we are going to do it. Sinn Féin is still refusing to answer the question of the issues the banks raised with it. When will the Deputy tell us what they are? When will she answer those questions?

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (5 Nov 2024)

Ivana Bacik: By all accounts, this will be the last time the Taoiseach and I speak during Leaders' Questions. I want to ensure constructive engagement rather than engaging in cheap political shots. That is important. It is fitting that I ask the Taoiseach about the issue that, above all else, has defined his Government's term in office, the housing crisis. This affects every family and every...

Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Supplementary) (5 Nov 2024)

Martin Kenny: I would appreciate if the Minister would do that. I know there is a review of ACRES. I think it will find the clear problems where they exist. From the very outset, when people measured the plots, set them out and all of that, they had to immediately upload the information to a portal. They often had to travel a couple of miles down the road to get broadband coverage to do that. There...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (5 Nov 2024)

Simon Harris: As I rise, I am very conscious of the funeral today of a giant of the press gallery, David Davin-Power. I know I join colleagues across this House in extending my sympathies to David's wife Dearbhla, to his five children and to his wider friends and family. I know we all think of David and his family at this very sad time. We all remember him fondly in this House, as well as his incredible...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (5 Nov 2024)

Simon Harris: I very much look forward to that as well because people watching should know Sinn Féin wants to abolish the Land Development Agency, an agency that is now capitalised to deliver 18,000 homes. What is Sinn Féin's priority when it gets into government? It is to spend God knows how long passing legislation to scrap that agency when it is building homes. I have been there with the...
