Rabbitte attacks lack of action on housing

LABOUR leader Pat Rabbitte yesterday accused the Government of not taking housing needs seriously.

Speaking at the launch of the party’s local election manifesto in Dublin, Mr Rabbitte accused the Government of failing those who can’t afford a home and asked voters to give Fianna Fáil and the Progressive Democrats the red card.

“The one thing that the Taoiseach is not serious about is housing.... If there’s one outrageous disgrace ...it is access to houses,” he said.
