- Courts, Civil Law, Criminal Law and Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2024)
Thomas Pringle: I wanted to ask a quick question of the Minister, if I can. The Damache judgment was in October 2020. We are now in July 2024. The Minister said that these Bills come up at a certain time and have to be dealt with. What actually happened between October 2020 and now, that it could not come up before this? I wonder what the situation is on that. It is obviously not rushed or urgent...
- Courts, Civil Law, Criminal Law and Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (10 Jul 2024)
Brendan Howlin: As I said, this is a hotchpotch of a Bill because it deals with everything from broadcasting, to the Department of public expenditure with regard to pensions, to revocation of citizenship under the 1956 Act. Some things are proper to an end-of-term miscellaneous provisions discussion, things that we all agree should be done, and there will not be any suitable vehicle coming through. ...

- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Summer Economic Statement: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I thank the Ministers and their teams for their contributions. I want to follow on from some of the questions I asked yesterday evening about the housing element of all of this. The statement says that €4.2 billion is to be allocated to the Department of housing, €2.5 billion of which is specifically for the housing capital allocation. Last year - I am just reading the...
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Summer Economic Statement: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: Okay. That is pretty worrying but I suppose it is a frank admission. This is why, it seems to me, that we are not discussing the Housing Commission report because the Government has no intention of acting on it in budget 2025. Essentially, that is what the Minister is really telling us.

Richard Boyd Barrett: Okay but-----
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Summer Economic Statement: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I accept that you cannot necessarily do everything overnight but also, it is clearly set out by the commission that there needs to be a dramatic increase, and it starts that increase from the coming year - 61,000, if you include student accommodation, is what it is setting out. If you add in student accommodation, it has it at 61,000, and that is up from 33,000. That is almost, in units per...

Richard Boyd Barrett: When do we start?
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Summer Economic Statement: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: Yes, although I could mention water infrastructure and so on. Direct capital allocation is slightly reduced and the Minister has not refuted that point. It seems, on foot of what the Minister is saying, that the only increase the Department of housing is getting relates to the housing assistance payment, HAP. That is probably what it is. The Minister is factoring in that there will be...
