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

Mary Lou McDonald: When Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil joined together with the Green Party in coalition four years ago, they promised that it would be the Government to fix housing. This was a very bold claim from the parties that had, in fact, created the housing crisis in the first place.

Mary Lou McDonald: They can choose to back a real housing plan from Sinn Féin. This is a plan to make housing affordable, to bring homeownership back to the reach of working people, to get families off council waiting lists and into homes, to end long-term homelessness and to give hope back to a generation so badly failed by Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil.

Vote 31 - Transport (Supplementary) (5 Nov 2024)

Alan Farrell: I am absolutely happy to have this discussion. We are in the unique position that this is our last meeting. The committee will not have the opportunity to weigh in on this matter. I ask that the Minister of State responds to the Deputy's other questions. I will then come back in on the matter of the airport, perhaps at the end of my contribution, if that is okay.

Vote 31 - Transport (Supplementary) (5 Nov 2024)
