I am not in any way minimising the issues the Deputies are raising. I am very much aware that there are people who are finding it extremely difficult to find accommodation. I could blame it on the recession, on Fianna Fáil or whatever, but it is the reality and I recognise that. It has been happening over a long number of years. The housing lists were building up even during the Celtic tiger era.
