Richard Boyd Barrett (PBP), Dún Laoghaire

One of the most obscene aspects of the absolutely dire housing and homelessness situation we face in this country is the phenomenon of people being homeless, being crammed into overcrowded conditions and being hopeless about the possibility of ever owning their own home or getting a social house while you can see vacant property, derelict sites and speculators sitting on land or property to make money out of it anywhere you walk. Is the Minister going to take any further measures in the forthcoming budget to deal with the scandal of vacant and derelict property and speculation?
