Speaking in the Dáil, Deputy Mairead Farrell said the reality is, the policy is destroying "generations" of people both young and old alike.

Sinn Fein Deputy Farrell said people are not only being pushed out of home ownership - but many now can't even afford sky-rocketing rents.
She cited reports that Ireland’s biggest private landlord, Ires Reit, is looking to move into the housing market in Galway city.
