It has been reported that the Government will move to block investment funds from buying up entire housing estates.

Discussions are continuing within Government as to how best to implement the policy.

This all comes after fierce Opposition criticism of the Government on the housing issue, following reports that entire developments of family homes had been bought by investment funds.

Financial analyst Karl Deeter, CEO of IPAV Pat Davitt and author and activist Tonie Walsh all contributed to the discussion.
