Social Democrats co-leader R\u00f3is\u00edn Shortall TD today called on the Minister for Health to intervene to compel the HSE to release smear slides to women affected by the CervicalCheck controversy so they can be independently reviewed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe favourable tax treatment that the government offers international investment funds is squeezing first time buyers out of the market, which is pushing up the price of housing as fewer homes are available for owner occupiers.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dublin Bay North Social Democrats councillor, Cian O\u2019Callaghan, has criticised the sale of an entire scheme of apartments at Clongriffin in north Dublin to an investment fund as further evidence of skewed government policy that is squeezing out first time buyers.<\/p>\n

Councillor O\u2019Callaghan said:<\/p>\n

“The announcement<\/a> that Tristan Capital Partners has acquired an entire scheme of 372 apartments at Clongriffin is further evidence that government policy is skewed towards supporting international investors and landlords \u2013 and not first-time buyers or households struggling to pay high rents.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe favourable tax treatment that the government offers international investment funds is squeezing first time buyers out of the market, which is pushing up the price of housing as fewer homes are available for owner occupiers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to encourage sustainable mixed tenure communities \u2013 instead housing is steadily being transformed with the assistance of government policy into a commodity for international investors whose only goal naturally enough is to maximise their return.\u201d<\/p>\n
