Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

The Minister is in denial of the reality in the property market and the rental market, in particular, in this city, Cork and Galway, as seen in the Daft.ie rental report for the second quarter of this year. Has the Minister been made aware of the fact that rents are rising in these areas? Is she living in denial of the reality for young people?

In many cases, young people end up out of their homes for various reasons. It is a bad sign that a Labour Party Minister, in particular, is suggesting such persons should return to abusive homes or homes they have left for other reasons and that they cannot rely on State aid or intervention.
