Duncan Smith (Dublin Fingal, Labour) | Oireachtas source

I want to pick up on something said regarding proportion. It is very difficult to discuss anything on housing without its being linked to the overall housing crisis. It is difficult to discuss anything in isolation. Everything is linked to the housing crisis. If we were to be proportionate about it, we would not get out of it in a couple of months or by next January. We have tabled amendments to extend the timeframe because we believe it is proportionate. That is just where we are coming from on that.
