Brian Hayes (Fine Gael)

I am referring to the most important purchase anyone will have to undertake in his or her life, buying a house. It is not as if one is going into DID to pick up a washing machine or a hair dryer. We are talking about the most important financial transaction people will every make in their lives and people must have certainties and guarantees of the type the Minister of State has failed to work on over the three years since he took on this job. He has just washed his hands of it.
