Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions
Dail Éireann — 2025-03-19
============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

It is pathetic - the protestation and the Deputy's attempt to exploit that particular moment, completely oblivious and refusing to reference the actual substance of what I said in terms of housing being the number one priority in Ireland. The Deputy can criticise our policies as a Government but she should not try to say she has a monopoly of concern or empathy on the housing question. Everybody in this House knows it through our own communities and the people we represent that this is the number one issue. No one will buy into Sinn Féin's propaganda, its feigned outrage and its feigned protestation. The bottom line is Sinn Féin did not go to Capitol Hill even though in other years it asked the Government of the day to advocate on its behalf, which we did-----
