Terence Flanagan (Dublin North East, Fine Gael)

After ten years in office, the Government will leave behind many legacies. While the Minister of State has not been in office for all that time, one issue that will not be forgiven pertains to talking up the property market. More than 100,000 people now find themselves in negative equity and they will not forget. I look forward to debating the further Stages of the Bill.
