Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Housing Policy (1 Jul 2025)

Conor Sheehan: The Minister did not address the recommendation from the Housing Commission to increase social and affordable housing to 20% of all stock. This badly needs to be done. It is a key plank of the commission's recommendations. I hope the Minister might be able to give us an outline of when each section of the Planning and Development Act will be enacted, including timelines, and whether he...

John Cummins: I thank the Deputy for raising this matter, which he consistently does.

The Act also imposes a duty on local authorities to take all reasonable steps, including the exercise of...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Vacant Sites Levy (1 Jul 2025)

Thomas Gould: The Minister of State and I sat on the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage for four years. There are local authorities that will not put sites on the derelict sites register; some local authorities will not impose the levy, which is the law; and other local authorities will not collect the levy. Millions of euro are owed on derelict sites on the register but...

It is true to say that dereliction is a really important issue. It is not one that local authorities or Government are ignoring. The Deputy knows full well because we both sat on the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Housing, Local Government and...

If the Minister of State wants to walk down the street with me, I will walk down with the three Ministers and a couple of Members of the Opposition...

GPO and Moore Street Regeneration as a 1916 Cultural Quarter: Motion [Private Members] (1 Jul 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: There is a whole range of other aspects. The one concerning Kilmainham was corrected by my party colleague Deputy Máire Devine. The State was forced to act because the people moved in. It is the same in terms of Moore Street and many other places around the country that this and previous Governments sought to destroy. I urge people to support this. Outside the debate tonight, I...
