Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Commission for Future Generations Bill 2023: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Oct 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I thank the Chair. I will not repeat my opening statement from last week in full. I will say to the committee and the witnesses, however, that I am quite honest about the provisions of this Bill. It is a commission to set up a commission. It is limited in its scope. It sets out a piece of research work that would be needed if we thought it was a good idea to transpose a version of the...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Commission for Future Generations Bill 2023: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Oct 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: There are just two things I would like to draw out from what Ms NĂ­ Bhuachalla and Senator Clonan said. First, neoliberal capitalism was rightfully identified as the kind of ideology within which we live. Something Professor Peter Doran of Queen's University Belfast said to me once has really stuck me since. He said that the most successful ideologies were invisible. Very often, we...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Commission for Future Generations Bill 2023: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Oct 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: It is a super question. It is a tough one. It is very difficult to answer because we are all a product of our context. As for whoever fulfils that role, we can point to the examples that we have had in Wales where we have had the likes of Sophie Howe and Derek Walker, who have been in posts. Of course, we are all products of our context and our environment. A strength is that they are...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Commission for Future Generations Bill 2023: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Oct 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I love the idea of effective disruptors and will see how that fits on an election poster. I would not mind it as a manifesto. The issue of youth work and community development is a really good lens through which to look at this Bill. If there is antisocial behaviour on the corner of a street, the short-term response is to lock somebody up, to incarcerate them. The long-term response is...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Commission for Future Generations Bill 2023: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Oct 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I thank the committee for being so generous with its time. It is not always the case that a Private Members' Bill gets two sessions. I thank all the witnesses who have appeared before the committee. It has been fantastic to get that level of insight. To be very political about how the nuts and bolts of how Leinster House work, the further a Private Members' Bill goes, the greater a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Analysis of Private Rental Sector Discrepancies: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Oct 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank both organisations for their presentations and the research. We understand how big the piece of research is because two datasets are being compared that are not recording necessarily the same thing, which creates all sorts of challenges. In the first round, I want to understand how the datasets have been separated. As mentioned here, characteristics have been identified in the...

Eoin Ó Broin: -----or from the presentation.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Analysis of Private Rental Sector Discrepancies: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Oct 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: From what has been said, from a statistical point of view there is a stronger basis to say the "formal" ones are formal because they kind of match the dataset from the RTB registrations. The exclusion of the 47,000 is a consequence because they do not match.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Analysis of Private Rental Sector Discrepancies: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Oct 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: One of the issues we were all thinking about when the different set, as we are now calling it, first emerged was the treatment of licensees. I ask this question for my own clarity: if I own a house and Deputy O'Callaghan rents a room in the house as a licensee, how is that recorded in the census? If I am the homeowner and head of the household, obviously I fill out the census and licensees...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Analysis of Private Rental Sector Discrepancies: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Oct 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: Would that categorisation facilitate a person who does not have exclusive occupation of a portion of the property and is just renting a room? Would such a person fit that category of a household for the purposes of filling a second form?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Analysis of Private Rental Sector Discrepancies: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Oct 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: Is there any way for the CSO, perhaps as part of this exercise, to attempt to match or look at where two separate census forms were filled in for a single property to try to establish things? I appreciate that all of this is tricky. I do not mean it as a criticism in any way when I say that 47,000 "possible informal" arrangements seems potentially too large. It is worthy of interrogating...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Analysis of Private Rental Sector Discrepancies: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Oct 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: I presume it would be very time-consuming to do that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Analysis of Private Rental Sector Discrepancies: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Oct 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: Sure. I am out of time. I will come back in on the next round.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Analysis of Private Rental Sector Discrepancies: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Oct 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: I have one final question on the methodology just so that I am clear. Is it the case that the CSO looked at the RTB registration data - the total registration - and at the characteristics of properties that were registered, such as whether they were more likely to be urban than rural and more likely to be smaller or terraced than semi-detached, bearing in mind that the latter, obviously,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Analysis of Private Rental Sector Discrepancies: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Oct 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: That is clear, but for the geography one and the rent price one, are they based-----
