Galway Bay fm newsroom - A Galway TD has told the Dáil that the boom times are getting even boomier for developers and banks thanks to Government inaction on the housing crisis.
Deputy Mairead Farell was contributing to a debate on the Land Development Agency Bill, which she opposes.

She pointed out that the Government's definition of "affordable" housing has no relation to the reality in Galway City - to hear more, tune in to Galway Bay fm news on the hour...
