Darragh O'Brien: I am endeavouring to do so. I did not interrupt Deputy Ó Broin once. I know he gets a little bit hot-headed from time to time. The reality is his plan is full of holes. His promise of home ownership is an illusion. It is a convoluted illusion of leasehold affordable purchase that not one bank has said it would lend to. It is a scheme that would restrict to whom people could sell...

Réada Cronin: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta Ó Broin as an rún seo. It is clear that the Government's affordable purchase scheme is failing, yet the Minister is here trying to keep the charade going.

Johnny Mythen: Housing is one of the greatest problems facing our country today. From Dubai to Toronto to New York and from Canada to Australia, we have lost another generation of young people. They are leaving because they simply cannot afford to buy or rent a home in their own country. Domestically, our young people have lost any hope of ever owning a home of their own. Rents and house prices have...
