00:00Minister, there's no buzzword in this government of infrastructure, right?
00:05And then you go away and you blame the local authorities, you blame Iskere, you blame the NTA, you blame
00:11the Commission on Planala, you blame everyone.
00:15Minister, I don't know if you get it, right? Or do you take that morale of fools over here?
00:19Because I tell you this, we are not fools. We know what's happening.
00:22Year of government, 15 years, 15 years, 11 years, all these problems were caused by you.
00:29The ones caused by us, they were caused by you.
00:32And now you're coming up with this new infrastructure plan, right?
00:37Like, you're trying to pass the buck.
00:40Will someone in this government ever stand up and take a responsibility for their job, right?
00:46Because at the end of the day, you're responsible, and instead of providing solutions, we're on the opposition benches here,
00:53and we're trying to give you solutions.
00:54We want to work with you, because you know why we want to work with you.
00:57Because the people we represent have no housing, they can't get a hospital appointment, there's a crisis in this country.
01:04But instead, do you know what you've done?
01:06You've brought all the new shiny booklet that looks great, 140 pages.
01:12140 pages, right?
01:14110 of them are telling us the problems why we have a crisis, an emergency in housing.
01:19But it doesn't say that you were in power for the last 15 years.
01:24You're blaming everyone else.
01:26Just talk to the actions in this plan, and talk to the pages, right?
01:30I tell you now, you must be trying to destroy the rainforests in the Amazon.
01:35140 pages for what?
01:38Right?
01:38Because this government, I'll give you one of the action plans here you have, right?
01:44For delivering homes.
01:46This is one here.
01:47This is one of the, this is going to fix the housing crisis.
01:49To enhance government communication.
01:52Seriously, that's one of your things.
01:54And the other one is to promote the importance of infrastructure delivery.
01:59Are you serious?
02:01Can you seriously stand over that, Minister?
02:03This kind of bull out here.
02:05People are crying out for homes.
02:08We have nearly 6,000 children homeless.
02:11There's people living in box bedrooms, two generations.
02:14People are crying out.
02:15There's towns and villages can't build a house because they have no waste water, right?
02:20And then you're talking about better communications.
02:23Will you build houses?
02:24Will you get Irish water, deliver water, and the infrastructure we need it?
02:30And don't be blaming the NTA.
02:31Don't be blaming the Schiairr.
02:33Don't be blaming the TIA.
02:34And certainly don't be blaming the Commission on Pranawala.
02:39For years, he underfunded them.
02:40For years, he knew there was a back block.
02:42And he did nothing.
02:44I know you're coming up with this document saying this is what we're going to do.
02:48Do your job and build houses.
02:50Because that's what you need to do.
02:52That's what the people want you to do.
02:54We'll actually work with you.
02:56Because I tell you, Minister, I don't believe you want to solve the housing crisis.
03:00Because if you did, you wouldn't be bringing stuff like this that are nonsensical.
03:04That's what new people are going to do.
03:05That's what new people are going to do.
