I raise the issue of the failure to regenerate social housing flat complexes. The Government is giving billions of euro away in tax breaks to wealthy investor funds, yet it has turned to our most disadvantaged communities living in substandard housing conditions in social housing flat complexes and told them it cannot fund their regeneration. Does the Minister have any sense of embarrassment or shame that after being in government for 15 years, Fine Gael has failed to address the housing conditions of the most vulnerable in this country? The community of Oliver Bond flats are devastated. Similarly failed are communities in the north inner city like Greek Street and Henrietta House. Social housing tenants across this city, from Ballymun to Ballybough House, have been left living in unacceptable conditions, with mould and damp. They were promised improvements by the Government, but all they got was a rent increase this year, pushing them over the edge in a cost-of-living crisis. I have met families with children growing up in mould and damp, which is making them sick. Babies are being hospitalised because of respiratory illness caused by mould and damp. This is the Government's legacy. This is Fianna Fáil's and Fine Gael's legacy. Why should anyone living in a social housing flat complex believe the promises of a better future from Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael?
