Irish Freedom Party Louth candidate, Hermann Kelly
Irish Freedom Party Louth candidate Hermann Kelly has hit out at lack of housing under the Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) Scheme and claims that there discrimination in the Accommodation Recognition Payment (ARP) system against Irish families.
Mr Kelly, who is competing in Louth in the upcoming general election and has worked in the European Parliament for 15 years, said that "it's clear there are not enough houses and too many people. We need to lower the rate of immigration into Ireland to curb demand for housing. While we have no control over the numbers coming from the EU due to EU membership. The government can sharply reduce the number of work and student visas from outside the EU tomorrow.
