Noel Ahern (Dublin North West, Fianna Fail)

If the Fine Gael-Labour coalition ever gets into power, it will be a problem. Senator McCarthy spoke about the fact that there is no affordable housing in Clonakilty and that a site was provided a few years ago, but in respect of which the council is proceeding at a snail's pace. Every twist and turn is being slowed down by council members who want to preserve the image of Clonakilty as being for scenic, beautiful, €2 million houses. They do not seem to give a damn about ordinary people who would buy affordable private houses. We are not discussing social housing. There is some hypocrisy.
