Eviction Ban: Motion [Private Members]
Dail Éireann — 2023-03-21
============================================================

Thomas Gould (SF), Cork North-Central

How would the Government know? I come from Knocknaheeny in Cork, a working-class area, and I am proud of where I come from. I am talking to people every day who will become homeless. I had a speech prepared for this debate but I do not need to use it because I know people who will be homeless next month who are coming to me and begging for help. I am here today to stand up for these people because we always knew that Fine Gael did not give a damn about them. However, Deputy Michael McGrath is a Minister from Cork. Shame on Fianna Fáil and every one of its backbenchers for backing Fine Gael and selling out ordinary people.
