Pearse Doherty (SF), Donegal

You can shake your head all you want. It is the lived experience of people. They know it, Simon. They know what you have done. You are the man who stood up a year and a half ago and said he would fix housing for once and for all. Do you know what has happened in the past year? There has been a €31,000 price increase on a standard house across this State. Never since Fianna Fáil crashed the economy have we seen house prices rise by that amount. This is out of control. It is being pushed out of reach of ordinary families. That is why so many people are losing hope of home ownership. What are you going to do about it? You keep trotting out the same thing but every single year house prices continue to be pushed further and further away.
