The cynicism and dishonesty of Sinn Féin on this subject is corrosive. It undermines our social fabric and the progress that is being made. If Sinn Féin really believed there was a housing crisis then it would act like there was a crisis. You would stop objecting to the building of homes. You would support our local authorities, the Land Development Agency and the State to increase supply, increase affordability and increase security of tenure. For those reasons I ask the House to reject the Sinn Féin motion and accept the Government's amendment.
