Peadar Tóibín (Meath West, Aontú)

There is not a committee functioning in this Dáil at the moment. No wonder we cannot build a hospital in this country without the prices ballooning out of control. No wonder there is not a house for a young person, and that young people have to emigrate to actually get a house. It is beyond time that we cop on to ourselves in this Chamber and see can we work to fix those issues. This issue has eclipsed the biggest existential economic threats to this economy, which are the tariffs, in the past number of weeks. We dearly need to listen to the people outside of this bubble, and we need to cop on to ourselves fast.
