Exactly. The same person would fail to build a henhouse. At the same time, she is saying that a million houses will be built if she is in government. For God's sake. The rubbish we have to listen to here about housing is frightening. At the same time, I will make things very simple. If we do not build more local authority houses, we are going to fail the people. One thing that is happening is that we have the voluntary housing agencies and all these different associations building houses. What is not being built at all, though, are houses for workers, those working and who want to go away to the bank and get a mortgage to buy an affordable house. You cannot get them because they are not being built. It is an impossibility in County Kerry or anywhere else either. The people looking at this motion and who brought about this debate should look in the mirror.
