I listened to the Tánaiste's response. He is a great supporter of the US Republican Party. Listening to him, what comes to mind is Ronald Reagan's assertion that the nine most terrifying words in the English language are: "I'm from the government and I'm here to help." There is nothing that the Government has done to help. Every time it seeks to give help to first-time buyers or do anything in respect of housing, everything just gets worse. Something has got to give.
