Galway rents are exploding because Government "opened the floodgates" with their housing policies.

Mark Lohan claims people are being driven out of their local areas, while families and young people hoping to build a future can't afford it.

He argues Fine Gael and Fianna Fail have continuously sided with big landlords, corporate investors and vulture funds.
