Affordable Housing Bill 2021 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2021-07-08
============================================================

Richard Boyd Barrett (PBP), Dún Laoghaire

I will try to be as brief as I can. We are not going to get to many of the key amendments to this Bill because we only have three hours to debate. That is a fact caused by the Government's guillotine. It is not necessary. We should have an opportunity to debate these amendments because this legislation is too important.
Deputy Mattie McGrath made slightly personalised comments, although I do not take them overly personally, in asking have we ever done this, that or the other. I have built council houses.
