Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I stated earlier in response to other questions that the rent situation is hugely challenging for renters. We need more supply. If anything, the report shows the scarcity of units available now to rent. That is what it really illustrates, the absolute scarcity of apartments and houses. We need to build more, and we need to get them built as quickly as we possibly can. Everybody needs to facilitate the construction of the various schemes that have been planned that are ready to go. That should be our focus right now.
