Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

Then he comes in here and shouts about a housing crisis.
The Jackies he mentioned would have a far better chance of getting more sustainable housing if we all treated the housing crisis as a crisis, including Deputy Boyd Barrett. He should do that rather than engaging in nimbyism in his constituency, opposing left, right and centre. The fundamental issue, I put to the Deputy, is supply and he knows it. This measure would ultimately dampen supply in the medium term which would create more homelessness in the fullness of time. There is no question about that.
