Protected Disclosures (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed)
Dail Éireann — 2022-02-15
============================================================

Peter Fitzpatrick (IND), Louth

I very much welcome the opportunity to speak. First, I thank the Deputies for bring this motion to the House. I welcome that we can discuss the housing crisis once more and why we are in this position.
In my home town of Dundalk, rental costs for a standard three-bed home are anywhere between €1,200 and €1,600 per month. At my Monday and Friday clinics, the queues of people trying to find property outside the door are unreal. To service a mortgage on that same property would be substantially less.
