Housing Targets and Regulations: Motion [Private Members]
Dail Éireann — 2024-03-06
============================================================

Richard O'Donoghue (IND), Limerick County

As a person who has been in the building trade all his life, since leaving school early at 15, I have built many houses for people. I was glad to have and to create employment building houses. When I look at the record of the Labour Party and hear its members heckling across the floor, saying this, that and the other, I note the same people said in the media that they would build 1 million houses. The same people were told, when some of their spokespersons stood up, they should be in straitjackets. When people mentioned Aodhán Ó Ríordáin, what they were saying was 100% true because, given some of the statements he comes out with, he should be in a straitjacket.
