The petitioner states specifically that he does not want to be renting into the future. I accept that Deputy Buckley has a philosophy and ideology but I disagree with it.

Home ownership in this country has fallen to 67%. We should offer people that option. The petition specifically referred to "options other than renting". I agree that security of tenure is important but the submission was specific on allowing first-time buyers into the market.
