Perhaps the Deputies are not explaining themselves fully, but that is what I am hearing.

I am of the view that every person should have an opportunity to own his or her own home in an affordable and sustainable way but until we address the supply issues, the affordability issues and the viability issues, that will not be possible. This Bill is an attempt to address that in a number of ways.

For those reasons and the reasons I have already outlined, I will be opposing the amendments.
