Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Tá díomá orm agus tá mé an-mhíshásta le freagra an Taoisigh. Níl freagra ar bith aige. I asked the Taoiseach to commit to introducing rent certainty. He ignored the question. Why not say either that the Government is not going to do it or agree to do it, which is what we want the Government to do? Instead, the Taoiseach has ignored it.

I was reading the remarks of Ken Loach, filmmaker and activist. He was talking about his Government and he said:

If they don’t know what they are doing to people they are incompetent and shouldn’t be in Government...If they do know what they are doing then they are not fit to be in Government.

From listening to the Taoiseach's answer, the only conclusion any sensible person could come to is that the members of the Government are both incompetent and unfit to be in government. I have asked already but I will ask the question again. Why does the Government not introduce rent certainty to lift the load and the burden off the thousands of people who cannot afford to pay rents without foregoing some other essential? The Taoiseach ignored the question.
