Housing Finance Agency (Amendment) Bill 2025: Second Stage
Dail Éireann — 2025-10-14
============================================================

Thomas Gould (SF), Cork North-Central

Deputy Browne is the Minister in charge and the man with the purse strings, but he is blaming everyone else. He is like Pontius Pilate; he is washing his hands. If Deputy Eoin Ó Broin or I was the Minister for housing, we would stand up and be counted. We would accept our responsibility and we would deliver the housing. It would cost €13 million to fix every boarded-up house in the State and the Minister will not give it. Will he commit to giving that money to local authorities?
