It was revealed this morning that the Minister for housing, Deputy James Browne, will jet off to an event on the French riviera paid for by developers, large corporate landlords and vulture funds. We must bear in mind that this is the same Minister who is rolling out the red carpet for these funds, the same types of funds that will make a fortune from the Government's rent hike Bill. Documents show that officials expect private market sponsors to pick up the tab for what is called the "Ireland Pavilion", from where the Minister will conduct business. It seems very cosy to me. Does the Tánaiste accept that it is a mistake to allow developers and big landlords to fund an event for the Government such as this and for a Government Minister to be attending such an event paid for by those same big corporate landlords and developers?

So it is cosy.
