Finance Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2021-12-14
============================================================

Aisling Dolan (FG), Nominated by the Taoiseach

As the Minister already pointed out, two banks have exited the Irish economy. We have two banks here. How will it be possible to deliver all our goals and objectives on housing without a functioning banking sector?
Some €50 million of the EU recovery fund has been delivered for schools in Ireland. There has been over €3 million in Roscommon and Galway alone to support DEIS schools that are delivering equality of opportunity. That is what has been done with that fund. Retrofitting is happening in each local authority. Housing for All is delivering staff to each local authority to deliver retrofitting in our local areas. That is happening right now.
