Housing: Motion [Private Members] (3 Oct 2018)

Joan Burton: The Government has dodged repeatedly the production of an adequate supply of affordable housing for young people, many of them now in their late 20s and 30s for whom ever purchasing their own home on a mortgage is becoming an impossible dream.
