John Paul Phelan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I grew up in a particular situation. My parents were not able to build a house until 25 years after they got married. They eventually left our uncle in the house in which we all used to live along with a grand-aunt. It was just that they were not able to afford to do it. I do not think it is the case that there is something automatically wrong with three generations living under the same roof. I think the way it was said was probably accidental.
