- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (5 Nov 2024)
Simon Harris: We will have our detailed debate soon, but 50,000 to 60,000 homes are figures I have heard in this House and from people right across the building sector. Being honest, however, nearly the more important part, or at least as important a part, was getting the national planning framework for this. The old version of the national planning framework does not an ability to deliver that number of...

Michael Lowry: Throughout the lifetime of the Government, I have emphasised the need to maintain and expand the services that exist for older people within our communities. The Templemore community care project is a group that oversees the provision of a range of vital services, including day care for older people, a community preschool, community social work, family support services, Traveller support...

Simon Harris: No. I genuinely believe this Government can approach the end of its tenure pointing to the fact that there are very many more homes of a whole variety of different tenures in Ireland now that were not there before this Government came to office. By any objective measure, not only have we hit targets, but we have actually exceeded targets as well. While I appreciate the constructive way...

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (5 Nov 2024)
Simon Harris: The target was a fair reflection of what could be delivered when we were having to rebuild a construction sector almost from scratch. As a result, we have now absolutely exceeded the targets. Deputy Bacik has been a voice in this House calling for revised targets to be published, which the Government has now done today.

Ivana Bacik: While I welcome the very late publication of revised targets, I regret the fact they are being published so late.

I have serious concerns about the...
