Dear Minister, Here is something you can do today for home-buyers. Ban investors buying homes:
Dutch cities to ban property investors in all neighborhoods: where investors won't be allowed to buy cheap and medium-priced homes and rent them out.

So sad to hear. Donncha was an incredible weaver of images on @RTERadio1 , he was mischievous,original, truly a one off. His interviews with Eamon de Valera were radio ,social and political gold. #DonnchaODulaing RIP, friend.
RTÉ broadcaster Donncha Ó Dúlaing has died aged 88. “When he closed his beloved parlour of dreams in 2015, it brought to an end a 50-year career in broadcasting. His contribution to public service broadcasting was immense,” says @deeforbes_dee

"It's not just #COVID19 that is killing people,
it's underprivilege,
it's lack of access,
it's years of living with health conditions that haven't been properly managed because of the colour of your skin, or your ethnicity, or your social group"- @DrMikeRyan #HealthForAll
Look at those eyes!! Fantastic work from an amazing talent. independent.ie/irish-news/dr…
