We must continue to be fully committed to finding solutions for such families who are, through no fault of their own, presenting. The crisis is linked to events in the private residential sector, which is why I strengthened controls in that area, fundamental issues of supply and issues such as short-term lets which are taking away from the long-term letting market. We must continue to drive action on all of those things. Rebuilding Ireland is a five-year plan but, as stated earlier, we are ahead of our targets on the supply side and, outside of what the Government is doing, the private sector is ahead of what we expected it to deliver.
