  1. Debate contribution: New Deal for Private Renters in Northern Ireland

    Thank you, deputy —. I was going to say deputy First Minister. I mean Deputy Speaker. Goodness me. You know that it is that time of the night. I have given you quite a promotion there. Thank you, Minister. I really appreciate that. People do not live in silos, so their problems are not siloed. Therefore, it is really…

    • Mr Gordon Lyons DUP
    • Private Members' Business
    • As a minister

    I appreciate the Member's giving way. This has been raised by many Members in the House, including the Member for East Londonderry. It is an issue that we take seriously. It is one that I raised during my discussions before the publication of the housing supply strategy with the then Minister for the Economy, whose…

  3. Debate contribution: New Deal for Private Renters in Northern Ireland

    Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I thank all Members who spoke today, especially those who shared their constituents' personal stories. I am one of the MLAs who has housing as the number-one area for casework in the office. We know that the private rented sector in Northern Ireland is in crisis, and that is why we tabled…

  4. Debate contribution: New Deal for Private Renters in Northern Ireland

    I thank the Member for taking an intervention. Does he agree that those immigrants are the people who are working in our hospitals and our healthcare systems and that some of them, due to inflammatory language, had their homes attacked recently? We need to be careful about what we say and about the leadership that we…

  5. Debate contribution: New Deal for Private Renters in Northern Ireland

    Thank you, Deputy Speaker. Quite a few comments need to be challenged and rebutted. I do not know whether I have time to do justice to all of that, but I will do my best. In the general thrust of the debate, Members who caution against third-generation rent controls, as they are called, show us where their true…

  6. Debate contribution: New Deal for Private Renters in Northern Ireland

    I thank the Member for giving way. She has talked about the north coast. Will she elaborate on the issue as regards unregulated Airbnb rental properties? That is outside the scope of the Minister, so we need an Executive strategy on it. Residential areas are being flooded with Airbnb properties, which is having an…

  7. Debate contribution: New Deal for Private Renters in Northern Ireland

    Thank you very much, Mr Deputy Speaker. I thank the Members to my right for bringing forward this important motion and Gerry for his amendment. Our communities are under unprecedented strain and stress. Families are forced to pay an ever-increasing share of their income on rent. Reports show that rents in Belfast are…

    • Mr Gordon Lyons DUP
    • Private Members' Business
    • As a minister

    Thank you very much, Mr Deputy Speaker. I thank all the Members for their contributions. It has been highlighted, rightly, that housing is the number-one issue that — I am sure, for every Member of the House — is brought to us by our constituents. I recognise that and have seen it for a long time in my role as a…

  9. Debate contribution: New Deal for Private Renters in Northern Ireland

    I thank the Member for giving way and caution him that language like that is extremely dangerous. Does he not agree that short-term Airbnbs are one of the biggest issues in his constituency, as opposed to a small number of people who are coming here? Asylum seekers and refugees come on a separate contract to what is…

  10. Debate contribution: New Deal for Private Renters in Northern Ireland

    When discussing unaffordable rents and the lack of available housing throughout Northern Ireland, we must consider the causes rather than simply focusing on dealing with their outworkings. The main issue driving up rents is the lack of available housing stock and the lack of new affordable homes that are being built…

  11. Debate contribution: New Deal for Private Renters in Northern Ireland

    I thank my colleague Kellie Armstrong for proposing this important motion and for her hard work in developing the policy proposals that she set out so eloquently earlier. I agree with Robbie Butler. Housing is the number-one issue in my constituency office, and it is one of the most fundamental and important things…

  12. Debate contribution: New Deal for Private Renters in Northern Ireland

    I thank the proposers of the motion and the amendments for a very worthwhile debate. As mentioned, housing is a prevalent issue, and I see that in my constituency office, as I expect does every other MLA in their constituency office. I want to address rent control and reduction, which is a critical topic that deeply…

  13. Debate contribution: New Deal for Private Renters in Northern Ireland

    Sinn Féin firmly believes that housing is and should be a human right. The state has a duty to ensure that every one of its citizens has access to the requirements that are fundamental to living a full and safe life, and there is no need more basic than access to shelter and having a home. The state also has a duty to…
