Response of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage to Covid-19: Statements
I am sharing time with Deputy Gould. A year ago, during the general election campaign, the Fianna Fáil election manifesto promised the delivery of 50,000 affordable homes over the lifetime of the incoming Government. The Minister said on the election stump said that those homes would be available at prices of €250,000 or less for first-time buyers and others yet when we saw the final text of the programme for Government gone was that crucial commitment. Despite that, the Minister spent the first two weeks following…

I am just asking for the number. Does the Minister know how many affordable homes will be delivered this year?

On a point of order, I have asked a question and the Minister is making a speech.

I have the greatest respect for this House and the Leas-Cheann Comhairle but I do not have respect for a Minister who will not answer a straight question.

Planning and Development Bill 2020 [Seanad]: Second Stage
I thank the Minister for his outline. In my five years in the Dáil, this is the fifth year in a row that in the dying days or hours of the December term very complex amending legislation on planning and residential tenancies has been brought before the House. In each of those years the legislation was been brought to the House in an incredibly unconventional and, I believe, unhelpful manner. That is not a comment on whether I support or oppose the provisions of the Bill. Given the complex nature of legislation, the…

Planning and Development Bill 2020 [Seanad]: Instruction to Committee
I fully accept the need to use such a motion to introduce amendments that are Covid-related because of the emergency nature of the pandemic. However, the use of this mechanism to introduce what is essentially an entirely new Bill to address the legal problems with existing substitute consent legislation is wholly inadequate. It is important to remember that this issue has not just been sprung on us. The first Derrybrien European Court of Justice case was in 2008. The second case, as the Minister mentioned, was in 2…

Planning and Development Bill 2020 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages
To clarify, the group includes amendments Nos. 1 to 4, inclusive, 16 to 18, inclusive, and 29 and 30. Should the Minister address all those before we raise queries? That might be easier if that is the grouping.

Planning and Development Bill 2020 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages
Amendments Nos. 1 to 4, inclusive, are pretty inconsequential compared with some others. I have some questions on amendments Nos. 16 and 29.
