I condemn, unreservedly, any threat or use of violence against anybody by anybody, be it against gardaí or against protesters. Will the Taoiseach condemn the use of actual violence - not threatened violence - against wholly peaceful protesters? Some of the protesters were hospitalised with concussion, cuts and bruises or had to get stitches as a result of the violence of hooded gardaí and the private security people who used excessive violence against peaceful protesters.

Yes, the Government should build public housing, as the Taoiseach has said, but last night I looked at his Departments' figures to refresh myself. They show that between 2011 and 2018 the Taoiseach's governments built 2,827 council houses while in the same period the housing list has gone from 96,000 families to 136,000 families when one includes transfer lists-----
