Martina Devlin: We need to talk about rent controls - not deflect and bluster like the Taoiseach
Briefly

Micheál Martin's hesitation to communicate clearly about the Government's housing strategy raises concerns over its effectiveness and credibility. Despite claims of having a detailed masterplan aimed at increasing affordability and housing supply, the administration's ambiguous stance, particularly during Nameless Leaders' Questions with Mary Lou McDonald, breeds skepticism. Critics argue that if the Government was confident in its strategy, it would articulate its intentions more openly rather than obscuring them, leading to doubts about its implementation and overall reliability.
Micheál Martin's reluctance to transparently discuss the Government's housing plans indicates a broader lack of confidence in their ability to effectively manage housing issues.
The government's purported housing masterplan is described as a carefully considered blueprint, yet skepticism abounds due to Martin's evasive responses during parliamentary questioning.
