Mr. Michael O'Flynn:

Yes, the Deputy has said it. We are not dealing with the crisis in front of us. We are talking about it; we are playing political football with it. We just need to accept that people desperately need housing that they can afford. We have identified the issues in the commission's report from an expert group of people who are involved in the industry - public and private. So lots of voluntary people got involved. We have the answers if there is an appetite within the political system to deal with it. If there is an appetite there then we can fix housing but if there is not then we will keep kicking the can down the road.
