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...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Vote 9 - Office of the Revenue Commissioners (Supplementary) (5 Nov 2024)

Neale Richmond: I thank Deputy Durkan. On the Chairperson's point, I assure him I will undertake the two latter issues he raised, particularly regarding the issue of the illicit smuggling of cigarettes. I am more than happy to make sure Revenue has, as I said, the adequate resources it requires. I share the Chair's concern in that regard. On the other two issues regarding the legal case and public...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Vote 9 - Office of the Revenue Commissioners (Supplementary) (5 Nov 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I attended the meeting on the four-year rule. I support the Cathaoirleach's request given the damage that has been done in that regard. If the Minister of State looks at it with clear eyes, he will see this needs to be rectified. I want to be associated with that.

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Vote 9 - Office of the Revenue Commissioners (Supplementary) (5 Nov 2024)

Neale Richmond: I thank the Deputy. I will make sure a letter is sent from me to the Chair and make sure a copy is furnished to the committee. I will allow the Chair to make sure the copy is circulated to all members of the committee.

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Vote 9 - Office of the Revenue Commissioners (Supplementary) (5 Nov 2024)

Neale Richmond: I was doing a little bit of mathematics in my head. I appreciate Deputy Durkan raising this issue. The total amount the taxpayer has paid so far is €68.5 million to the end of this year, which will cover the required costs at Rosslare post Brexit.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (5 Nov 2024)

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...

Mary Lou McDonald: That is not how it happened.

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. That anchors the discussion for the weeks ahead. This Government...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (5 Nov 2024)

Ivana Bacik: While I welcome the very late publication of revised targets, I regret the fact they are being published so late. It is just not good policy-making to set targets that are too low for too long and then at the eleventh hour, one month before many offices will close for Christmas, to bring in new targets, especially when they are not being funded adequately. I have serious concerns about the...
