Daft report merely confirms that Government has no plan, no clue –Pat Buckley TD East Cork
Sinn Féin TD Pat
Buckley has said that the latest Daft report has only confirmed that which we all knew; that “rents have spiralled out of control and show no signs of slowing down”. Teachta O Buachalla
said that it was clear that the meagre government efforts to date have had no impact and it was time for Minister Eoghan Murphy and the government to take strong, definitive ac- tion to address the hous-

The East Cork TD
said: “The Government’s reliance on the private sector to solve the housing crisis and the Minister’s light touch philosophy has had no impact. “The Rent Pressure

Birthday Greetings Happy birthday to the following; Aaron Mulcahy,
ances telling the people that it’s not as bad as it looks are insulting and an embarrassing indication that the government truly doesn’t know how bad the housing emergency has become. “It is clear that this gov-
ernment, backed to the hilt by their partners in Fianna Fáil, is doing more harm than good when it comes to the housing crisis. They have no plan and it seems they haven’t a clue either.”
