A house in every field and a portfolio of properties for every taxi driver was his party's idea of the Irish home.

There is a serious issue related to the buy-to-let mortgage market. The Minister for Finance has made it clear that he does not see the buy-to-let mortgage market as one that needs to be protected. He has indicated that they should be repossessed. One in every five people live in a buy-to-let property. They live in the rental sector. There could be serious issues for ordinary people and families, and people with children, if we do not handle the matter carefully. I ask the Leader to invite the Minister to attend and ask him to specifically address the issue.
