Bernard Durkan (FG), Kildare North

My question to the Taoiseach is on a subject that has been well worn over the past week and rightly so. Has a conflict of interest been determined in situations whereby investment funds can freely enter the housing market in such a way as to distort it, to prevent private home buyers from acquiring a home of their own, to prevent local authorities from acquiring houses in line with the requirements, and to prevent approved housing bodies, all to the frustration of Government policy? Can action can be taken in this regard?
