This issue will come back to haunt the Government. During the election the Tánaiste was quoted in a local newspaper as saying there was no housing crisis. I could not believe she represented the same constituency as I do and that she did not meet the thousands of people who cannot afford to buy a house and cannot get a council house. They are living in crowded conditions in their parents' homes. There are thousands of people who cannot afford to buy houses in their own areas. They must go miles outside those areas to buy houses and then travel back into Dublin. I condemn the Bill.
