Pearse Doherty (Donegal, Sinn Fein)

One hundred per cent of it is going to developers who are already building these properties. Apartments that were sold last week benefited from this. The Tánaiste told us that this has already cost us €20 million since it was introduced on budget night. This is about filling the pockets of developers. It is doing what Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael do. At the same time, those in government have shafted ordinary people during a cost-of-living crisis. Shame on them all.
