1:30 pm

Deputy Gould wants to come in and get a soundbite. We have been trying to go through Housing for All and to look at the various initiatives. People have different views about what is working and some people might believe that some aspects are not working. I can get into a back and forth on the politics with the Deputy. I could ask why Sinn Féin does not have a housing alternative. However, I do not want to hold up the meeting because it is not about that. The Deputy has not produced anything to tell us what Sinn Féin can do.
We can see what is being done. One only has to drive around the country to see the new developments. Do we want to accelerate that? Of course we do, and we are doing so. The Deputy cannot just ignore what is happening out there.
