Approximately 400 Irish people a week are coming home to work because they want to live here. Many will find accommodation in the private rental market and some will, hopefully, be able to afford a home. There are more people coming home than leaving because they can see the country is moving in the right direction, despite the fact that there are many who try to put a negative spin on this. If we were not trying to create an improved rental market, the Deputy would give out about that. Now that we are looking to improve the market in respect of core issues such as security of tenure, predictability and managing unsustainable rent increases, she is giving out about that as well and accusing me of trying to force people into this market by trying to improve it. Can the Deputy see anything positive in this?
