Dear Minister, Here is something you can do today for home-buyers. Ban investors buying homes:

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.
