On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 1,054 of 1,062 decisive votes (4 abstentions excluded). Read it as a government-or-opposition indicator rather than a measure of influence — the figure is near 100% for members supporting the government of the day and near 0% for those opposing it.

Party over time

This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

Response of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage to Covid-19: Statements

To be helpful, Simon is part of my homeless task force delivery. I engage with them every week.

Response of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage to Covid-19: Statements

Absolutely.

Response of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage to Covid-19: Statements

Is the Deputy referring to a report from last year?

Response of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage to Covid-19: Statements

I receive many reports-----

Response of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage to Covid-19: Statements

I am asking so we can be clear about what we are discussing.

FF 2021-01-28 · Dail
Response of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage to Covid-19: Statements

Is that a report from last year or is it a current report? I am not sure.

FF 2021-01-28 · Dail
Response of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage to Covid-19: Statements

I am not sure, to be honest about it.

FF 2021-01-28 · Dail
Response of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage to Covid-19: Statements

If it is a recent report, I have not received it. I am not trying to be evasive in any shape or form. What was the date of the report?

FF 2021-01-28 · Dail
Response of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage to Covid-19: Statements

I am a little over six months in the Department, as the Deputy knows-----

FF 2021-01-28 · Dail
Response of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage to Covid-19: Statements

I am not even sure what report the Deputy is referring to, because she is unable to tell me what the report is and the date of the report.

FF 2021-01-28 · Dail
Response of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage to Covid-19: Statements

The Deputy has not done that.

FF 2021-01-28 · Dail
Response of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage to Covid-19: Statements

I am happy to talk to the Deputy separately about it. She cannot give me the date or name of the report, so I cannot say whether I have received it. I do not want to give her incorrect information. That is the only reason.

Response of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage to Covid-19: Statements

I will deal with some of the questions and the Minister of State, Deputy Peter Burke, will respond to the question about horticultural peat. On housing, it is unfortunate that we have had to close the construction sector in the interests of public safety and to reduce the movement of people. There are some exemptions and those regulations will be updated and published later tonight. The Deputy will see the exemptions. I take his point as I am familiar with rural housing. My constituency has a large rural area in wh…

Planning and Development, and Residential Tenancies, Bill 2020: [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil] Report and Final Stages

Gabhaim buíochas leis na Seanadóirí. Táim lán-sásta a bheith ar ais sa Seanad inniu. This is an important Bill, which I initiated in the Seanad. I was grateful for the co-operation of colleagues in allowing this Bill to pass the Dáil without dissent yesterday evening, following protracted discussions and debate. This legislation is about strengthening the protections for tenants which we introduced in July of this year and which took effect from 1 August. These protections have worked and are working. The Bill also…

Planning and Development, and Residential Tenancies, Bill 2020: [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil] Report and Final Stages

We are dealing with group 1, amendments Nos. 1 to 9, inclusive, and amendment No. 18. These amendments have been passed by the Dáil. We are not dealing with Senators' amendments yet.

Planning and Development, and Residential Tenancies, Bill 2020: [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil] Report and Final Stages

I will explain. This Bill was introduced in the Seanad and has been amended in the Dáil. I have to report to the Seanad on the Dáil amendments. Group 1 includes amendments Nos. 1 to 9, inclusive, and amendment No. 18. These are not the Senators' amendments, but those passed by the Dáil. They are all pretty technical and concern matters such as changes to the Title. The Seanad amendments are listed elsewhere.

Planning and Development, and Residential Tenancies, Bill 2020: [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil] Report and Final Stages

This grouping, group 2, deals with three Government amendments passed by the Dáil, which I must read into the record here. There is an Opposition amendment within the grouping from Senator Warfield, namely, amendment No. 1. The Planning and Development Act 2000 and regulations were amended following a 2008 decision by the Court of Justice for the European Union, CJEU, in the case C-215/06, known as the Derrybrien wind farm case. This CJEU case necessitated a ban on granting retention planning permission for develop…

Planning and Development, and Residential Tenancies, Bill 2020: [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil] Report and Final Stages

I will abide by the Leas-Chathaoirleach's ruling. The amendments are not being moved as we go along.

FF 2020-12-17 · Seanad
Planning and Development, and Residential Tenancies, Bill 2020: [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil] Report and Final Stages

They will all be moved later. That is fine.
