Trevor Sargent (Dublin North, Green Party)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: to formulate a strategy along the lines outlined by Deputy Healy today to reverse the painful and dangerous trend in personal indebtedness in Ireland, which will be compounded further by the expected 10.8% rise — more than €26,000 — in first-time buyer new house prices, to have the Government take its share of responsibility for this crisis and become active in resolving it.
