Rabbitte attacks Government for failing to tackle land price ‘rip-off’

LABOUR leader Pat Rabbitte last night launched a scathing attack on the Government for failing to tackle the spiralling cost of housing.

Mr Rabbitte said he would introduce a new Bill to the Dáil in the autumn which would address the building land “rip-off”.

Speaking at the SIPTU biennial conference in Galway, Mr Rabbitte said it was time the concerns of the trade union movement, and of working people and families throughout Ireland, were met.
