Housing crisis and debate
Deputy Murphy attacks housing delivery, rising rents and homelessness, and asks for a full housing debate rather than delay. The Chair cuts him off for exceeding time and calls the next speaker.
I was bemused to listen to the Taoiseach painting his housing policy as a success rather than a deep failure. Housing construction, social housing, affordable housing - every one of the targets is being missed, while 4,675 children woke up this morning in emergency accommodation. That will affect them for the rest of their lives but the Taoiseach does not seem to care because rents continue to rise, prices continue to rise-----

----and landlords and developers profit. Can we have a debate on housing in this House or will the Taoiseach wait and delay the housing plan-----
