Michael Lowry: First, I welcome the Minister and his delegation to the committee. As a Member of the Oireachtas representing the people of north Tipperary, I am very familiar with the problems and failures in the delivery of healthcare in the mid-west region. I was one of those representatives who continually went to the meetings, and after every meeting I left in frustration and anger because we were...

Members expressed a number of reasons for this but we were all concerned by the really negative stories we were hearing about what was happening in Limerick. We were hearing stories for...

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the witnesses for being here at short notice and for the opening statement. Part of the reason a number of committee members wanted to do this session is that, while we accepted there was a need for Part 2 to be introduced before the break for Christmas, some of us were surprised at the cost-rental elements coming in. It is not that we are against them in principle but some of these...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) (No.2) Bill 2024: Discussion (10 Oct 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I get that. My question is, since most AHBs have not amended their constitution, does it make any material difference that they do not have that wording in their constitution? Obviously, when the folks in the Department drafted the legislation, they had a reason for putting that in.
