James Lawless: If only it had the plan years ago.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (5 Nov 2024)
Mary Lou McDonald: -----that is directed at delivering affordable homes for families, as well as affordable rents and finally tackling the scourge of homelessness. It is a plan rooted in concern for citizens and communities and not kowtowing to the high and mighty vulture funds, cuckoo funds, the big developers and the corporate landlords. That is the Fine Gael way, a Cheann Comhairle, and I look forward to...

Simon Harris: Me too.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (5 Nov 2024)
Mary Lou McDonald: It is a fact the Government's belated housing targets are 20% below what is required according to its own Housing Commission. These are not Sinn Féin figures; they are the Government's figures. The Government has yet again failed to recognise the scale of the crisis and the need we face. I asked the Taoiseach to explain the fact that he has undershot by 20%. The memo was brought to...

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

Matt Carthy: Hear, hear.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (5 Nov 2024)
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...
- Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 31 - Transport (Supplementary) (5 Nov 2024) James Lawless: This is my second time appearing before the committee. I took a Bill through Committee Stage recently. I would have liked a greater opportunity to engage with this committee, as it is a good one that does important work, but I have engaged with each of the members individually on transport issues in the short time I have had this brief and I thank them for their diligence and interest in...
- Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 31 - Transport (Supplementary) (5 Nov 2024) James Lawless: That is an important question. As the Deputy said, I am very familiar with it, representing Kildare North in my role as a TD. I also know the Deputy’s area. Councillor Caroline O’Reilly has been very vocal on those issues as well - bus services to Ratoath and Ashbourne, the ones the Deputy mentioned - and I met with her on that recently. The Deputy is right that there are...
