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. Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil have had more than a decade to solve housing but it has only made it worse. Now, as...

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. This is hope that they can have a home of their...

- Equitable Beef Pricing Bill 2020: Second Stage [Private Members] (24 Oct 2024)
James Lawless: I thank Deputy Browne. I thank Deputy Tóibín for introducing the Bill and provoking the debate. He has attempted to address a significant issue. I have given reasons, which I will recap, as to why the Government is not in a position to support the Bill but, notwithstanding that, I commend the Deputy on his initiative in bringing it forward. I listened with interest to Deputy...
- Equitable Beef Pricing Bill 2020: Second Stage [Private Members] (24 Oct 2024)
Peadar Tóibín: The Government is missing two massive points. First, it is missing the point that the market is already distorted. I have a degree in economics. Anybody who analyses the food market in this country will tell you that it is, by definition, a distorted market. It is not unusual for the Government to preside over distorted markets. Much of the economy, such as the insurance industry,...
- Equitable Beef Pricing Bill 2020: Second Stage [Private Members] (24 Oct 2024)

Farmers are workers too. They are involved in one...

James Lawless: I thank Deputy Tóibín for bringing this Bill forward and for his passionate contribution to the debate. I have listened with interest to his setting out of his stall and I have taken careful note of what he has said. We can all agree that farmers should receive a fair and equitable price for their produce. The programme for Government recognises the economic and social role of...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla (Atógáil) - Topical Issue Debate (Resumed): Coastal Protection (24 Oct 2024)
Thomas Pringle: The crux of the problem is that Donegal County Council says that if it does this work that is funded by the OPW, it will have to maintain it in the future and the responsibility will be on it to do that. It says it will not do that for private property, as private land is affected too. There is a public walkway across the land, which has been concreted by the council to facilitate the...
