    In fairness to MM commiting to build 50000 houses along with the sia scheme could work, in that, by the time the saving schemes mature there will be more housing stock. Obviously all of that is assuming that the promises made are actually kept.

    I think he is shrinking every time we see him. Not sure he will last to the end of the programme before he vanishes.

    Totally agree he is excellent

    He doesn't want to be leader of SF - it would mean spending more time away from his family. Fair play to him but a big loss for SF.

    No she's not, she's avoiding the questions with her weak policies and lack of decision making power.

    Mary Lou making a shambles of the debate. As per usual, moaning and whining for minutes mentioning populist buzz words, before providing a half arsed, pie in the sky solution.

    She's dreaming, but she's got no coherent idea what she's even dreaming about.

    Mary Lou: If we set up a project to build 100,000 social houses, the builders will come back.
    Claire Byrne: Where are they going to live?
    LOL

    Varadkar bragging about houses being built yet homelessness keeps rising. Does he not get the point?

    If you're talking about a 3 bed semi, then you're talking family home which typically these days has two earning adults (I accept that's not always the case but typically) - 2 times the average wage, times 3.5 (lending limit) plus deposit gives a figure closer to 300k?

    https://www.cso.ie/en/releasesandpublications/ep/p-syi/psyi2017/econ/earn/

    25-29 year old male average : 486 a week, female 447 , 46,650 median household income for dual earners 25-29 , x3.5 is 163k + 18k deposit = 181k

    Have you a VHS of an old Ard Fheis on?

    She had a complete nightmare in the starting section and she's bumbled on housing.
