Govt to Blame for House Prices-FG
Fine Gael have attacked the Government over its failure to reign in spiralling house prices.Currently,Irish house prices are rising at more than four times the rate of inflation,with the average price of a house now set at around €250,000,rising to almost €325,000 in Dublin.
"This is the first generation in Ireland since the foundation of the State that young people can no longer look forward to owning their own home,"said FG spokesman Fergus O'Dowd.
House prices these days are an absolute joke.I have relatives who have decided to simply leave Dublin and head for the country to save their money.This Government definitely needs to do more to sort out the current mess and if FG were to make this a priority,I'm sure it would boost their standing with the public.
