There is a complete absence of any alternative from Sinn Féin, particularly in relation to first-time buyers. Deputy Ó Broin should go and tell the 42,500 households that have claimed the help-to-buy grant that they do not deserve it and that anyone applying for it does not deserve it. He should also tell it to the nearly 7,500 households who have registered and been approved for the first home scheme which will enable them to buy their own home. These are people who are stuck in a rental trap who are now able to own a home. That is what is happening with this Government and with Housing For All.
