Micheál Carrigy (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I concur with the comments made by Senator Fitzpatrick. It is not just Fianna Fáil that has been pushing it; our colleagues in Fine Gael have been involved too. There is a housing policy group within our party that has been pushing these issues. Indeed, our colleague, Senator Cummins, has been very proactive in putting forward the whole issue of dereliction and supporting those grants.
