Minister for Housing Darragh O'Brien and Sinn Féin's Pearse Doherty have clashed in the Dáil over the Government's €450m plan to encourage the use of existing planning permissions for apartments.
The Donegal TD contended it was"off the wall stuff" in which developers were being given a subsidy, but there was no reduction in the price being charged to homeowners.He called on the minister to"come to his senses" and scrap the scheme - instead investing the €450m in local authorities-approved housing schemes, which could deliver on affordability.

He added that Sinn Féin have"continued to object" delevelopments. | More: https://t.co/CR7IFQBC57 pic.twitter.com/c2xcvji70O
Give the 'Chuckies' a crack at it - sure they'll have houses built for 80 grand no bother 😉

O'Brien said Government will support people in owning their homes & was on course to deliver this year more social homes Doherty said enough of your spoofing, before saying that house prices are going through the roof, rents were spiralling out of control
Doherty is correct... O'Brien is the biggest spoofer in that cabinet..a proper Delboy!!!
