I support the proposal by Deputy Duncan Smith on aviation.

I wrote to the Business Committee this week looking for time for the Minister for Finance to come to the Dáil to answer questions on the hundreds of millions of euro in State funds that are being used to invest in investment funds that are buying up houses, pushing up rents and driving out first-time buyers.

The Minister for Finance has refused and declined to answer questions, with €500 million going to Activate Capital, which is involved in this, so he should come into the House to answer questions on this.
