- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Children’s Hospital: Discussion (9 Oct 2024)
John Lahart: I thank the Minister and his officials for their attendance before the committee on this very important matter. The Minister will take away with him the fact that the committee remains acutely concerned about the issues arising from the development of the national children's hospital. We will be monitoring it closely. Having visited, we know that, in spite of everything we have said today,...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Housing Provision (8 Oct 2024)
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: This matter is a very important one for the Department of housing and I thank the Deputy for raising it. It is very important that local authority tenants who are occupying social housing properties and paying weekly rents are living in homes that provide good comfort levels for their occupants. The Deputy will be aware that in accordance with section 58 of the Housing Act 1966, local...

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: -----in terms of the internal work. We informed residents about this.

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Housing Provision (8 Oct 2024)
Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: That will not be fixed as an "as and when" issue. There are still issues with cold, damp and water. I hope the Minister of State will bring this matter to the Minister. I will certainly continue to raise it because the tenants of these flats deserve a lot better than what they are getting at this time.
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Housing Provision (8 Oct 2024)
Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: The Deputy is correct. I recall a number of examples of complete regeneration projects in Dublin, including right in the heart of the north inner city and in Dolphin's Barn where flats were beyond their lifespan in the way described by the Deputy. A completely different regenerative approach was necessary but it was largely driven by Dublin City Council in the first instance and supported...

Aindrias Moynihan: I thank the Minister of State for the reply and the various details supplied. She indicated that crews are out working to facilitate the lifting of the boil water notice.
