Taoiseach Leo Varadkar says he does not have any issue with Ryanair or other companies buying up almost entire housing estates for staff, claiming such practice has been "happening for centuries".
He said there is a big difference between companies such as Ryanair bulk-buying houses and apartments compared to investment funds.
