Report on Dublin and Monaghan Bombings: Motion. - Local Authority Funding: Motion.
The cost of land must be tackled by the Government. There has, traditionally, been a suspicion that Fianna Fáil is a little too close to the construction industry, that the relationship is too comfortable and that too many contributions have been made. I do not say this in antagonism. I am not a member of the Opposition. I am Independent. It is in Fianna Fáil's interest to tackle this matter and to make it clear that this cosy relationship does not exist and that Fianna Fáil is prepared to take on people who are skimming off money from people who can least afford it, by charging excessive prices for land.
