Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

All they get from the Government is a recitation of statistics and a deaf ear. That is not good enough. The Taoiseach should recognise that the Government's policy is failing, unless he believes it is acceptable for the average Dubliner to have to find in excess of €1,500 just to cover the rent. If that is his view, it is not one I share with him. I again put it to him that we need real rent certainty and affordability in Dublin and across the State.
