Eviction Ban: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (21 Mar 2023)

Maurice Quinlivan: I listened carefully to the contribution of the Minister, Deputy O'Brien, and in particular that of the Minister of State, given we share a constituency and he will have dealt with some of the people I have dealt with, as I know because they have told me they have been to his constituency office, but he has not answered the question they have been asking me.

This regeneration programme has been ongoing for 12 years....
