The Government will not introduce proper regulation of the private rented sector because its friends do not want it. It reduced capital gains tax because its friends wanted it. As Senator McDowell said, it has refused to implement the full provisions of the Bacon report to tax speculative land because its friends do not want it. However, we have now had successive speakers on the Government side wringing their hands about cruel builders ripping people off. We know what has been happening for the last 20 years, but apparently it only dawned on Fianna Fáil tonight, which is welcome. At least, it has forced Fianna Fáil members to concede that their friends in the building industry have given this country an abysmal service in terms of price, quality, customer relations and follow-up to faults in new buildings. Now that Fianna Fáil has discovered the problem and admitted to it, perhaps the Government will do something about it by giving young couples some guarantee of quality and some rights, rather than being expected to buy from plans which give very little information about the property in question. Now that Fianna Fáil has admitted what its friends are like, will it stop taking their money to fund the party? Perhaps something has been learned.
