James Browne: “That's so that Fáilte Ireland will create a register of short-term lets, and to be on that register you will have to…”

What happened cannot be tolerated or normalised in any fashion.

I am genuinely appalled that the type of contact we are hearing about happening would be made in the first place to any public representative, but then for it to be in any way targeted at our female elected members is unacceptable.

I have set ambitious targets in the Housing Action Plan and we need to keep our shoulder firmly to the wheel. I want more homes delivered and thousands of people are counting on that progress. I'm under no illusion about it.

One person having to access homeless supports and services is one too many.
