Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

Again, I am intrigued by the degree to which the Members opposite attempt to misrepresent what I have said, and then try to establish it as a fact by continuing to repeat it in order to embed it in the public consciousness as a fact. I told the Deputy that wages have increased and that is a good thing, especially when linked to productivity. Wages have increased and I have no issue with that at all. We have controls on rents. Rent increases are now controlled by legislation. Increases are limited to 2% or the cost of living index, whichever is lower. That is a fact.
