Rent Control Fianna Fáil Flip Flop – English

Fianna Fáil is in complete and utter disarray on housing Fine Gael Minister Damien English has said. The Fianna Fáil Spokesperson on Housing and their leader are in disagreement on rent controls.  The last time Fianna Fáil were in power, they collapsed the house-building sector.

Minister English said:

“Fianna Fáil can’t even be consistent on one issue regarding housing – rent controls.  In the space of a matter of weeks, their party leader and their party spokesperson were at loggerheads. In November last year Micheal Martin said “We will freeze rents to reduce costs for young people.”  Less than four weeks later however their party’s spokesperson on housing Darragh O’Brien stated that Fianna Fáil were “not wedded” to rent controls.

“Fianna Fáil has promised a complete housing policy document for over two years now.  To date none has been produced.  This is the same old, tired Fianna Fáil that just weeks out from a General Election, have published no complete housing plan or credible ideas for housing for this country.  Their housing policies, in the recent past, brought this country to its knees.

Minister English concluded by saying:

“Fianna Fáil don’t have any plans for housing, they are flip-flopping their own ideas. Fianna Fáil simply can’t be trusted with housing in this country.”
