- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Building Regulations (11 Jul 2024)
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Not only that but there is an important effect for the sheer humanity of having appropriate living standards. The Deputy is quite right to raise it. Under section 34 of the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, any person who contravenes the regulations I discussed in my previous contribution, fails to comply with an improvement notice or re-lets a house on the private side will be...

Violet-Anne Wynne: I thank the office of the Ceann Comhairle and the Minister of State, Deputy Carroll MacNeill, for facilitating this debate as it is the last Topical Issue debate before the recess and we will not return until September.

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the Deputy for raising this important issue. I am responding on behalf of the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage but I also appear as a constituency TD. I am well aware of the issue of mould, particularly for HAP tenants in the private rental sector. Before coming to the House, such is the importance of the issue to me, I went through my constituency database to...

Thomas Byrne: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta Ó Cuív. Bhí mé ag éisteacht go géar leis an méid a bhí a rá aige. Caithfidh mé a rá, i dtosach báire, agus tá a fhios ag an saol é seo, go bhfuil an fhreagracht maidir le soláthair lóistín d’iarrthóir ar chosaint idirnáisiúnta agus do theifigh ag...

Éamon Ó Cuív: Glacaim leis go bhfuil fáilte roimh theifigh, bíodh siad ag teacht ón Úcráin nó aon áit eile ar domhan a bhfuil cos ar bolg ar siúl inti. Ag an am céanna, níl aon cheist, má thagann mórchuid daoine nach bhfuil Gaeilge acu isteach i gceantar láidir Gaeltachta, go n-imreoidh sé tionchar ar an teanga. Is é sin an...

Thomas Byrne: Tuigim nach bhfuil an Teachta Ó Cuív ag piocadh amach na dteifeach agus a rá go bhfuil an milleán orthu. Tá sé ag rá go bhfuil rudaí eile i gceist. Bíonn sé i gcónaí ag caint faoi chúrsaí thithíochta sna Gaeltachtaí agus na heastáit tithíochta agus na srianta atá orthu toisc ceisteanna teanga....

Matt Shanahan: It would be remiss of me not to thank you all for your thoughtful contributions. I wish each and every one of you the best of luck. I suppose I do not need to say it but I remind you again that you represent the Irish people when you are in Brussels. We hope you keep them close in your future decisions, whatever they may be.

Éamon Ó Cuív: Tá sé go deas gur tháinig an tAire Stáit isteach. Is cuidiú mór é i ndéileáil leis an gceist seo. Mar is eol dó, tá líon mór teifeach ón Úcráin agus ó thíortha eile lonnaithe sa Ghaeltacht i láthair na huaire. Níl a fhios againn cén tionchar fadtéarmach a bheidh aige seo ar staid...

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: A Chathaoirligh, Ministers, my fellow newly elected MEPs and, in particular, Noreen Kehoe from our office, who is watching from the Gallery, if you get the privilege of being elected to Dáil Éireann, you enter probably the most famous room in Ireland. When my Labour Party colleagues and I were elected to here in 2011, we were so conscious that every word we uttered in here would be...

Michael McNamara: It is a bit like being invited to speak at your own funeral here today. Usually, we talk about political careers after people have passed away. I am conscious I did manage to be late for this, which is possibly something I had never thought I could achieve, alive or dead. I thank the people of Clare for electing me to this House. I think everybody in this Chamber would say it is a unique...
