Eoin Ó Broin: 51. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government to confirm the price of the one-, two- and three-bedroom cost-rental units in Oscar Traynor Road, O'Devaney Gardens and Shanganagh Castle. [43228/24]

Eoin Ó Broin: Of course, the Minister does not know what the answer was because he was not here, but-----

Darragh O'Brien: I listened very intently to the Deputy and he did not answer the question.

Eoin Ó Broin: -----I am happy to discuss it with him again. I hope I might have a better chance of getting a straight answer to this straight question. There are three cost-rental schemes, at Shanganagh Castle, O'Devaney Gardens and Oscar Traynor Road. The contracts for all those cost-rental schemes have been signed. Will the Minister put on the record of the Dáil what the cost of renting a...

Darragh O'Brien: We have already seen that the public are responding to cost rental. The Deputy knows that and it might disappoint him, but the Government's Housing for All plan, as he knows, targets the delivery of 18,000 cost-rental homes by approved housing bodies, AHBs, the Land Development Agency, which the Deputy would abolish, and local authorities, although he has not yet said how Sinn Féin will...

Eoin Ó Broin: It is remarkable that the Minister said the rents have not yet been finalised, because they have been. We know that because John Coleman from the Land Development Agency told an Oireachtas committee that. Contrary to the information the Minister has put before us, we do know that the rents for a one-bedroom unit in Shanganagh will be €1,250 a month-----

Darragh O'Brien: That is what I said.
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Housing Schemes (22 Oct 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: -----but we also know that rents for a two-bedroom unit will be €1,520 and that those for a three-bedroom unit will be €1,700. That is the single highest cost rent for a three-bedroom or a two-bedroom unit delivered to date. I also understand that Dublin City Council has signed the contracts with Tuath and Clúid for the cost rentals in O'Devaney Gardens and Oscar...

Darragh O'Brien: I have answered the question honestly on the record of the Dáil. I do not have a track record of misleading the Dáil. I have always been open and honest with people. The Deputy can laugh at that but his party's behaviour over recent weeks in that regard has been nothing short of reprehensible, so I do not think it is something to laugh about. I am not going to conflate the two...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Housing Schemes (22 Oct 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: It is simply factually incorrect for the Minister to come to the Dáil and say the rents on those three projects have not been finalised. They have been. The legal contracts have been signed and the Minister knows that, and people can judge that for themselves. I am a strong advocate of cost rental - I have argued for it for more than two decades - and the Minister knows I supported...

Darragh O'Brien: The Deputy's arrogance knows no limits and I would check it if I were him. We have delivered 2,180 cost-rental homes from nothing, and it might disappoint him to hear that the pipeline of cost rental amounts to 7,700 homes. Scaling up the delivery of cost rental, a tenure that did not exist before, will have a very positive impact on the private rental market as well. I meet those people...
- Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (22 Oct 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Sinn Féin's alternative housing plan, A Home of Your Own, sets out what would be the most ambitious public housing programme in the history of the State. We would deliver more than twice the number of social homes that have been delivered in the past five years by this Government and about ten times as many affordable homes. The big difference is that those homes would be genuinely...
