Simon Harris claims Sinn Féin is the ‘wealthiest party’ and property owner in the Dáil

He also reiterated his comments that the Government will be taking specific measures to support students and that “we have their backs” as Sinn Féin health spokesmanResponding to Mr Cullinane, Mr Harris hit out at Sinn Féin as the “biggest property owners in Dáil, the biggest property investors” with 40 to 50 properties, including seven in Belfast.

He said rent controls will not apply to new builds and will not apply to existing homes after a renter moves out voluntarily. They would also not apply to off-campus student accommodation , Mr Cullinane said. Government housing policy “has always been about investors and giving vulture and cuckoo funds free rein to squeeze rents out of hardworking people”, Mr Cullinane said.

“There’s a number of steps that need to be taken and many of the steps that they’ve outlined are areas where the Government has a priority focus on.”Mr Harris also insisted the Government “will be taking specific measures to support students”.
