Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy. I think I have answered that question four or five times now, both this week and last. The only thing the Deputy’s ears are deaf to is the answer because she just does not want to hear it. She has renewed her call to me - fair enough. Let me renew my call to her. There are three ways in which the Sinn Féin Party can help us to alleviate this terrible housing crisis.

Sinn Féin members can stop opposing new housing in their constituencies. They can take the pressure off first-time buyers by ending their opposition to the help-to-buy and first home schemes. They can stop threatening landlords with more restrictions and more taxes. Those are the three things Sinn Féin can do to help us with this monumental task of ending the housing crisis.
