Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

The only criticism I remember was that a TV programme gave details of the grants. It was considered politically wrong to let the public know they could avail of a grant if they wanted to buy and refurbish a derelict building or vacant house. These grants have been spectacularly successful and we need more of them.
Some local authorities have been good on social housing but others have not been. We need to call that out.
