Housing for All: Statements (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2022-11-08
============================================================

Seán Kyne (FG), Cultural and Educational Panel

The Minister of State is welcome to this important debate. I acknowledge all the contributions. There has been a lot of talk although I am not sure there have been a lot of solutions from the Opposition. We can all name and describe the problem, but solutions are in short supply.
In response to Senator Gavan's point, and I have said this before in this House in response to others, but I will say it now in response to him, in 2011, when we entered Government and I was a Member of the other House, if we had a debate on housing, we were talking about things such as bust banks, bust developers, negative equity, ghost estates and the IMF being in charge of the country.
