Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

The Deputy must know that the Government has invested hugely in Knocknaheeny in terms of the regeneration programme, house building and education and it will continue to do so. Likewise, house building in Cork is strong. CBL is the methodology by which people want to choose a particular house in a given location. We have dramatically increased social house building and the Deputy should acknowledge this. In fairness to Deputy Eoin Ó Broin, notwithstanding his propaganda and polemic on "Morning Ireland" this morning, he did acknowledge that there had been a significant improvement in house building in the past two to three years. That has happened in Cork as well, but we need to build more housing and we need fewer objections.
