Our plans for next year are focused on, for example, maintaining and building our housing output and ensuring the Minister, Deputy Darragh O’Brien, has the resources he needs to meet the targets laid out in Housing for All because we are conscious of the social need. It is fine to quote that part of the Central Bank analysis but that body also warned about the Government making decisions that make inflation worse. It is the same institute. The Minister, Deputy McGrath, and I are trying to get that balance right. I am exceptionally aware of the need to maintain housing output for next year and we aim to do that.
