Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said that he “hasn’t thrown in the towel“ on housing and will not yet accept that young people will be worse off than their parents.
He made the comments to the new Social Democrats leader Holly Cairns as she used her first Leaders Questions slot to describe the current housing situation as a “catastrophe”.
“I'm a member of the first-ever generation who will be worse off than our parents,” she said.
