Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

That is what they are in the Opposition's world. The people we need to build more homes, the people to whom we need to lend more to get those homes built, those we need to come back in to provide rental accommodation, in the Opposition's world, are terms of abuse and have been throughout this Dáil and before. When the Opposition then says it will spend more and build more, with what money will it do so, and from where? Is it the corporate tax revenues that everybody is warning us we should not spend?

Is it the corporate tax from the companies whose executives it does not want here and whose workers it wants to tax more and whose data centres it wants to run out of this country?

We know that much more needs to be done. We know we need to make a difference but in Housing for All and in the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, we have a plan that is making a difference that is making a difference in my constituency, in my part of Dublin and is doing the same the length and breadth of this country.
