Michael McGrath (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I listened for more than 20 minutes to the Opposition Deputies speaking earlier and I did not hear any new ideas. I heard no positivity. All I heard was 20 minutes of negativity, bitterness and, particularly from Sinn Féin, a personalised diatribe towards the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage which will do absolutely nothing to provide a home for a single family in this country in the weeks and months ahead.
