Micheál Martin: -----and not always be negative. On the airport, there has been ongoing engagement between the Department and Waterford Airport. An updated submission was received as late as 23 April. Some of the matters raised by the Department had been addressed. Some detail remained outstanding. I think that came in on 27 May and further detail was also provided on 2 July. A business case has to...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (4 Jul 2024)

Pearse Doherty: Last week, I raised with the Tánaiste the fact that homes at Oscar Traynor Road, under a so-called Government affordable housing scheme, would cost between €400,000 and €475,000 for a three-bedroom home. Sinn Féin warned from the beginning that this plan would lead to homes that were unaffordable and out of reach of ordinary people. In the Tánaiste's response to...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (4 Jul 2024)

Micheál Martin: First, I accept that the affordable purchase homes scheme at Oscar Traynor Road are subsidised through the local authority shared equity scheme, not the first home shared equity scheme, as I inadvertently said. However, that does then mean that is also subsidised up to potentially €100,000 under that scheme, plus the €30,000 from the help-to-buy scheme, which the Deputy did not...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (4 Jul 2024)

Micheál Martin: The only way to deal with affordable housing, in my view, is more supply, and we have to build more houses. I would argue that the schemes, and the multiple schemes we have for affordability, are far superior than anything the Deputy's party has produced so far. In fact, his party would take away those schemes we have provided, and I think that would be very detrimental to affordability and...

Ivana Bacik: The Tánaiste will know that the young campaigner for autism services, Cara Darmody, is continuing her protest this week outside Leinster House. I pay tribute to Cara's tenacity in organising her campaign. She is calling for access to assessments of need and services for all children, and an end to the scandalous waiting lists that far too many are facing. Some time ago, the HSE stated...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (4 Jul 2024)

Micheál Martin: It is not the policy, nor should it be the policy, that responses occur via protests alone. Every child is entitled, in my view, to the fundamentals. There was a court action which effectively meant the HSE had to go back to the drawing board with regard to the assessment of need process. We may have to look at legislation in that respect. It would be interesting to see how the Oireachtas...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (4 Jul 2024)

Gary Gannon: Some 3,000 people with status to remain here are being told to leave their IPAS accommodation as of tomorrow. My very simple question to the Tánaiste is this. Where is the Government asking these people and their families to go? I think I know the answer. In the absence of a plan, there will be a merry-go-round of misery. This question - where are people simply to go? - was put...

Roderic O'Gorman: I thank the Deputy. What we are looking to do is to support people who have been given status in this country to access the services and housing supports that everybody else in this country is entitled to do. That is why we have provided very significant resources over the last number of years, working with housing NGOs to put in place officers who are directly engaging with people who have...
