Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

It would be better if some of the local authorities in the greater Dublin area which are populated with majorities from the Deputy's party were more supportive of housing development than is the case. I can point to a few who have been less than helpful in making sure we maximise housing development prospects within their local authority areas. That is an issue about which the Deputy has done nothing.
