Wexford chief exec admits council needs to ‘get our hands on more land and up our housing delivery in villages'
There may be only three members of Sinn Féin among Wexford's 34 councillors, but they were determined to make their presence felt, and voices heard, at a special meeting held to discuss housing delivery in the county. Prior to the meeting, held in County Hall, Sinn Féin's Tom Forde, Aoife Rose O'Brien, and Craig Doyle, submitted a number of questions to chief executive of WCC Eddie Taaffe regarding ongoing housing issues in Wexford.
The first of these focused on the target set by the government's Housing For All plan which requires WCC to deliver 1150 social houses in the county between 2022-26. With the council expected to surpass that target by 30 per cent, the Sinn Féin representatives asked Mr Taaffe if that target was too low.

Almost 3,000 council homes currently boarded up across Ireland, new figures show
There are more than 770 councils homes across Ireland which have been boarded up for more than a year. New figures released under Freedom of Information to Sinn Féin's Thomas Gould show local authorities have a total of 2,749 council homes currently boarded up across the State. Of those, 776 have been out of use for over a year, with two in Wicklow out of use for between 84 and 90 months. According to the most recent report of the National Oversight and Audit Commission, the average re-letting time in 2023 was 33.72 weeks, an improvement on 35.22 weeks in 2022. However, these varied from 13 weeks in Laois and 15 weeks in Monaghan to 65 weeks in Kerry and 61 in Limerick. Mr Gould said the number of homes empty was "insulting to those impacted by the housing emergency". "Each of these homes should have a family living in them, children growing up in those four walls. Instead, these homes are empty and children are growing up in hotels. 'They [the Government] try to blame everyone but themselves. The reality is that this is an issue in all local authorities and in far too many communities because of their failings. They do not provide enough funding to maintain homes and they do not provide enough funding to return them to use. 'There are more than 20 homes across the State that have been idle for longer than five years." In total, the FOI reveals, councils spent €366m on maintenance of homes, but requests for maintenance countrywide was 169% of the number of homes. Meanwhile. a report by Ombudsman Ger Deering into the Housing Assistance Payment (Hap) scheme has found inconsistencies in how it is operated by local authorities, delays in some applications being processed, and inequities between how Hap tenants and social housing tenants are treated. The Ombudsman's report identified a number of issues with the scheme, including a significant amount of duplication between the application process for social housing support and the application process for Hap, with much of the same documentation needed to apply for both. In addition, a separate application must be made for each scheme, despite the fact approval for social housing support automatically entitles a household to Hap. Read More Due to delays in processing some applications for Hap, there can be a significant difference between the date the application is made, and the date it is validated and payment starts, the report adds. In the meantime, the applicant may have lost out on the property due to the delay. The Ombudsman said where an applicant had been approved for social housing support, they should be entitled to payment from the date their tenancy starts.

Gerry Adams defamation verdict won't have a chilling effect on journalism - and here's why
The defamation case between Gerry Adams and the BBC has many points of interest, legally and politically, but its implications for journalism have been vastly overstated. The former Sinn Féin president won in Dublin's High Court last week because the BBC broadcast a serious allegation against him in a programme that cited only one anonymous source, with no corroboration. Every news organisation would aspire to do better than this under almost all circumstances. Part of the BBC's defence is that it should still have been able to broadcast the claim, aired by its Northern Ireland investigation strand Spotlight in 2016, as a matter of public interest. There are often cases where it is impossible to name sources or publish corroborating evidence. To do so might place people in danger, expose them to prosecution or breach essential promises of confidentiality. READ MORE Irish defamation law allows for a public-interest defence, but this has yet to be used successfully. The BBC is not alone in fearing the law is not working as intended. [ If Gerry Adams wanted to put manners on the BBC, why not do it in Belfast? Opens in new window ] Even in a matter of public interest, however, a news organisation should still demonstrate a serious allegation is more than one person's claim. The BBC said in court it had corroboration from five other confidential sources, but it had not mentioned this in programme, to be fair to Adams. The court was unimpressed by this argument, and little wonder. The BBC's final defence was that there must be freedom to report on figures of historical importance and losing to Adams could create a chill factor over investigations into the Troubles. It asked the jury to make no award of damages, even if it found Spotlight's claim to be untrue. The best insight into how the BBC handles a mistake comes not from the insinuations of Gerry Adams but from Terry Wogan, a truly great Irishman, who after every crisis would quip: 'Deputy heads must head roll' Yet the judge had been clear throughout that the case was not about the Troubles. The jury was instructed to decide if Adams had rehabilitated his reputation sufficiently as a 'peacemaker' after the Belfast Agreement for a 2016 allegation about a 2006 murder to damage his reputation. The jury found it had, although its €100,000 award was on the lower end of what might have been expected. Many Troubles victims will be dismayed to hear Adams described as a peacemaker, but his Troubles reputation remains where it belongs. Speaking outside court after the verdict, Adams said taking the case was 'about putting manners on the British Broadcasting Corporation'. Seamus Dooley, secretary of the National Union of Journalists , condemned this comment as 'chilling', as well as 'unfair and unreasonable', given Spotlight's 40-year record of 'amazing investigative journalism'. An Amnesty report this week found Northern Ireland is the most dangerous place in the UK to be a journalist. Public figures have a responsibility not to make matters worse. However, Adams's remark will not have made much difference to anyone: it was a familiar sort of jibe, to be enjoyed by a harmless republican audience. Only loyalists and dissident republicans pose a physical threat to the media. Adams added he suspected the BBC had come under 'direct political interference' to continue a case it could have settled years earlier with an apology. It is only slightly facetious to suggest that Sinn Féin has already benefited enough from murky British dealings. What political motivation could there be to press on with a plainly weak case that was almost certain to work out in Adams's favour? The obvious explanation is by far the most likely: the BBC pressed on because it is an intractable bureaucracy with no respect for public money. Adams might be familiar with the concept of an organisation that struggles to back down. There has been a recent, relevant demonstration of this culture within BBC Northern Ireland. In 2023, it reached a confidential settlement in an alleged bullying case with a Spotlight producer, Lena Ferguson. She received an award and costs with no admission of liability. The BBC then issued a statement congratulating itself. 'We didn't want to be in a lengthy dispute with Lena and are happy that we can all now move forward,' it said. Yet the case had dragged out for four years, involving allegations dating back 20 years from Ferguson and others. The problem became serious enough to be raised in the House of Commons. Many people in the media in Belfast feared Spotlight had become dysfunctional, with implications for the quality of its journalism. They were appalled by the BBC's legal obstinacy towards Ferguson but hardly surprised. The best insight into how the BBC handles a mistake comes not from the insinuations of Gerry Adams but from Terry Wogan, a truly great Irishman, who after every crisis would quip: 'Deputy heads must roll.' We may be years away from even that stage of this fiasco.

Sinn Féin urge British government to abide by Sean Brown public inquiry order
Sinn Féin has again urged the British government to abide by court rulings ordering a public inquiry into the murder of GAA official Sean Brown in 1997. A coroner, High Court judge and three judges in the Court of Appeal have all ruled that a public inquiry is the only lawful remedy. The Irish Government has also backed calls by Mr Brown's family for a public inquiry. But the British government last week lodged papers seeking the permission of the UK Supreme Court to appeal against an order mandating such an inquiry. Am uncompleted inquest into his killing by loyalist paramilitaries heard that several British state agents were among 25 people linked by intelligence to the murder. Speaking after meeting Northern Ireland Secretary of State Hilary Benn in Belfast this morning to discuss legacy issues, Sinn Féin's north Belfast MP John Finucane said the party had criticised the decision to appeal the ruling. Asked if the Irish Government should make a public inquiry into the killing a "red line" issue in negotiations with the UK about how to deal with the legacy of Northern Ireland's Troubles, Mr Finucane said it was a legal issue, not a political one. "It's not necessarily about what should be a political red line," he said. He said: "It's what the courts have said, and the courts have made it very clear that the only vehicle that exists that can provide truth and justice and give Bridie and her family answers is a full public inquiry. "That was made clear by the Coroner, it was made clear by a High Court judge, it was made clear by the Court of Appeal, and was endorsed also by our Chief Constable. "So these are people independent of the Brown family who have all made that legal assessment, and I think that's the assessment that should be followed by the British government."
