Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

With the greatest respect, I did not invite anybody in because I was not in government when these funds were invited in. The Deputy knows that but she keeps up the great political lie that Sinn Féin keeps articulating in terms of trying to pretend that Fianna Fáil was in power for the last ten years when it was not. We are now in government with Fine Gael and the Green Party for the last ten months and we have identified housing as a major priority and capital is needed in the country to provide housing and apartments. The Deputy and Sinn Féin are doing the spoofing because they are perpetrating a great pretence that Sinn Féin and Sinn Féin alone through the State can provide every single house that will be required for the next number of years and every single apartment. The Deputy knows that is not the truth. She also knows it is not the truth to say that Government is involved in every single decision making process within the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund, ISIF. Its funding has been designed to try to get certain projects that would never otherwise have happened over the line and get them built in terms of a rental market.
