Sharing this in light of a load of landlord TDs voting for new measures which they openly admit will drive rents even higher
TDs shouldn't be landlords and this shouldn't be an even remotely controversial thing to say.

"People should be able to afford their rent"
"Lol check out this economically incoherent rube over here"

The exchange between the Taoiseach and the Sinn Féin leader prompted Ceann Comhairle Verona Murphy to appeal for a "respectful" debate, given that the visitors' gallery was full.
