I refer to the reply to Parliamentary Questions No. 567 and 568 of 3 July 2018, which sets out the position in relation to previous affordable housing initiatives, and to Parliamentary Question No. 1346 of 7 September 2018, which sets out the position in relation to current affordable housing initiatives.

In addition, it should be noted that the Government has now launched the Land Development Agency to deliver some 150,000 new homes over the next 20 years. The new Agency has an immediate focus on managing the State’s own lands to develop new homes, and regenerate under-utilised sites, and will deliver at least 40% of any housing potential on such lands for social and affordable housing purposes.
