Brian Stanley: I think what the Deputy is expressing is there is a general frustration, which I certainly hear. You do not have to come to Dublin for it as you will hear it down in the midlands as well. People are paying very high rents and cannot save for a deposit.

Brian Stanley: It is frustration we all hear. Young people - and not-so-young people, because many middle-aged people are now renting and they are trapped as well - constantly tell us what they are paying in rent and how they could get a mortgage where the repayments will be 60% of what they are paying in rent, even with the increases we have talked about.

Brian Stanley: As I understand it, the university has sent information on this, stating that it is now in compliance with current procurement legislation and that rules on appropriate procedures for procurement have been developed. Is that your assessment of the matter, Mr. McCarthy? That has been circulated to staff. They have taken steps.
