Richard Boyd Barrett (Dún Laoghaire, People Before Profit Alliance) | Oireachtas source

Her 13 year-old-daughter who has special needs wrote a personal note to the Tánaiste and she still has not even had the dignity of a response. It is absolutely outrageous.

The last place Jackie looked at was €2,700 per month. How is anybody supposed to afford that? Today there are 11 two-bedroom properties available in Dún Laoghaire. Does the Tánaiste know what the average rent is? It is €2,900 but the highest HAP threshold is €1,900 which means there is nothing available. That is what the Tánaiste's speculators and developers have delivered. They have delivered tens of thousands of planning permission applications they do not act on and when they build, nobody can afford them. The Tánaiste should not give us that nonsense-----
