Clare Daly (Dublin North, United Left) | Oireachtas source

The point is about the danger of ministerial control. Across the 22 ha., which is the size of 35 football pitches, there will be just 2,600 residential units, with only 260 for ordinary people as social housing units. This is in an inner city development at the height of a housing crisis. It is absolute lunacy. We need democratic check and oversight, and that is why the provision to have the Oireachtas scrutinise the standards is really good. We would all benefit from it, as we have from the discussion we have heard today.
