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...

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...

It is required to make use of savings on the Department’s Vote. It is also required to provide additional funding to meet liabilities in a number of areas. These include 2024 costs apportioned to my Department for the development of the border control post in...

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...

Vote 19 - Office of the Ombudsman (Supplementary) (5 Nov 2024) John McGuinness: That is the votes that will be counted after 29 November. There will be retired public servants there who will be stopped their superannuation payment but get no benefit from that. Maybe it is not the Minister's area but I want to find out from someone. It is just in case there is a tie and I need a friend across the counter. Why are they stopped the contribution for that day? Will the...

Vote 19 - Office of the Ombudsman (Supplementary) (5 Nov 2024) John McGuinness: The Minister of State gave me a note on the flood relief scheme in Kilkenny. He went back over the history of it. I recommend looking at the original tender, which was far less than €42 million. I am not saying this to embarrass anyone but we should explain to people how it can move from €4 million or €5 million to €42 million. It is worth showing the record of...
