Michael Mulcahy (Dublin South Central, Fianna Fail)

I also support resolution No. 2 which provides a good re-balancing for the first-time house buyer. I am glad this and other measures have been targeted at the housing sector. Despite the problems in the construction sector, from my experience there is still much demand for houses, both local authority and private. Will the Taoiseach ensure the local authority scheme is closely monitored so that as many people as possible can get into it?
