It is not published in the format that I am asking for. It does not have all the information.

They are not the same documents.

The FOI is for documents already agreed the Minister of State will not publish.

Hear, hear.

He did not.

Hear, hear.

Or An Post.

Heaven forbid.

Never give the warning.

I am sorry to disappoint the Ceann Comhairle by speaking solely to the Bill. To be fair to Deputy McHugh he is speaking to a matter pertinent to the Bill and some absences from Part 7 of the Bill, which I will come to. He raises an important issue and I am glad the Ceann Comhairle gave him the time to do so, because it is absolutely within the scope of the legislation. I start by saying that in having a debate about reform of the planning system, it is important the debate is evidence based. I am not commenting on …

I would be more than happy to do so. Likewise, I hear people raise legitimate concerns about the lack of clarity for local authorities with respect to wind farms on land. That is not this Department. It is the Department of communications in conjunction with this Department. They have long delayed the release of much anticipated guidelines about wind farms. Sometimes, people find other people to blame for the problems they legitimately raise, when often the responsibility for that confusion rests closer to home. At…

What is the proportion?

As a percentage of housing stock, it has fallen. The Taoiseach knows that.

Yesterday, "RTÉ Investigates" broadcast a documentary with some very serious revelations about our planning system. It showed two individuals involved in what can only be described as an appalling breach of that system and who may well be subject to future criminal proceedings. Yesterday morning, theditch.ie revealed that one of the individuals at the centre of the documentary was, of course, a former Fine Gael election candidate. I am sure the Taoiseach agrees that yesterday's revelations were deeply disturbing. W…

I move: That Dáil Éireann: notes that: - Fine Gael have been in Government for 12 years; - Fianna Fáil have been propping them up for seven years; - during that time the housing crisis has gone from bad to worse; - rents are at an all-time high and rising; and - the Government have missed the social and affordable housing targets three years in a row; notes with extreme concern that: - standardised average new rents in Dublin have increased by €4,716 and State-wide by €3,816 since this Government was formed; - the …

It has never been harder in modern times to be a private renter. Rents are at record highs and are continuing to rise ever upward. The threat of eviction and eviction notices is a daily reality and the threat of homelessness for an ever-wider range of people living in the private rental sector is a real concern. We only have to look at the data that is produced by Government agencies to confirm all of that. The most recent Residential Tenancies Board, RTB, rent report showed us that, since its series began in 2007,…

Rents.

Is the Minister of State, Deputy Noonan, not embarrassed? He comes in here at the end of every debate and he reads a script, the majority of which I do not believe he believes to be true. At some point, he must be deeply embarrassed personally with what he is doing, as well as with what the Government is doing. Deputy Doherty asked the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, before he ran out of the Chamber earlier - how high do rents have to go? That is the question. How high is the Minister of State, his line Minister,…

I move: That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to make emergency provision to defer the termination dates of certain tenancies that fall, or would fall, during the period beginning on the day after the date of the passing of this Act and ending on 31 March 2024 in order to mitigate the risk that persons whose tenancies would otherwise be terminated during that period would be unable to obtain alternative accommodation; to make such provision on a phased basis to enable tenancies affected to be te…

I move: "That the Bill be taken in Private Members' time."
