Pearse Doherty (SF), Donegal

Under their watch, we have never seen homelessness as bad in this State. Some 3,700 children woke up this morning with nowhere to call a home. This is their legacy. We have record levels of homelessness and it is increasing every month. We have targets for social and affordable housing that are far too low and even then the Government misses them. We have an entire generation of people who believe that they will never own a home in this State and this is why they are deciding to pack their bags and go to Sydney, and different places in Australia, to London and to Canada.
