To me, that would have been one of the central purposes of setting up such an agency, as Deputy Cian O'Callaghan said, going right back to the sort of thinking behind the Kenny report. Does the Minister recognise it as a problem? If he does, why on earth would he delay this when we are setting up an agency that could have the power to actually do...

Richard Boyd Barrett: ..., investment funds and speculators. For that reason, the Labour Party's criticisms today of successive Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael Governments, members of which did not want to implement the Kenny report and have danced to the tune of the developers and speculators who caused this housing crisis, is absolutely just and valid.

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...in the greater Dún Laoghaire-south Dublin area are in the housing crisis. They are in an emergency situation. One does not have to be a radical to see things this way.
