The Government's record is a disgrace. Perhaps that is why the Taoiseach gets a little irritated with the media when journalists like Elaine McLoughlin and others expose the Government. They should expose it more because we have had plans and figures to beat the band but no houses. The Government does not seem to care or empathise or else there is another greater reason it does not want to build houses. I do not know from where the Tánaiste is getting the figures he is quoting, but I have them from journalists and the CSO.
