Housing and Residential Tenancies (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2026: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2026-07-14
============================================================

Joe Flaherty (FF), Nominated by the Taoiseach

The Senator comes from a trade union background. That is a terrible slight on people. I have absolute respect for people working in the housing departments and I know how hard they work in the face of a crisis. A generalisation such as that is deeply unfair.
