The Minister of State has made a very interesting and accurate admission. This will not be of any use in Dublin.

We could probably add Cork and other places where not only the crisis is most acute but the different elements that have produced this unprecedented housing crisis, including property prices, are most acute. We are going to put €750 million into an initiative that will have no impact in the areas worst affected by the housing crisis. That is a serious admission.
