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

The people will decide who will constitute the next Government when the next election comes, which will be within the next year. In the meantime, the current Dáil should continue to do its work and the current Government will continue to do its work, focusing on the issues mentioned by the Deputy such as housing, health, law and order and many other issues. I know that we have a very deep and real housing crisis which people experience in so many different ways. It is driven by a number of factors. We have a rising population, a growing economy and a prolonged period within which very little housing was built because the banks were bust and the sovereign had no money to spend. We are now finally seeing real progress. I see it all around the country in the number of new homes being built. I travel the route out to where the Deputy lives regularly. He cannot avoid seeing homes and houses being built-----
