I believe the emigration has already started. I come from Belmullet in County Mayo. In the local football club, we counted ten players who have gone to Australia in recent months. That is just from one small football club. When we started to count the wider area, it was quite shocking. This is not because people cannot find a job, but because people cannot find a house or somewhere to live.

I want to ask Mr. McGeady about his statement on housing. He said that the Government has failed to support those most in need in favour of subsidising property owners. Could he expand on that from his perspective? Perhaps Ms Rogers would like to comment.
