Eoin Ó Broin (Dublin Mid West, Sinn Fein)

For the Minister's predecessors, social housing targets were very clear. As was the case when Eoghan Murphy and Simon Coveney had responsibility for this area, the Minister has revived the practice - I have no issue with it - whereby we do not just have the target for new-build social and acquisitions and leases, but they are actually broken down by local authority, which is very helpful. We have never had the same clarity on affordable housing. For example, as published in the Revised Estimates document, there is a general affordable housing target of 6,400, but that is between the three streams, namely, the first home scheme, cost rental and the affordable purchase scheme. Piecing together the actual targets is a bit trickier. Is it his intention or would the Minister be willing to publish the data for affordable housing in exactly the same way as it is being done for social housing but to include the LDA and the AHBs, so that we know exactly what the year-on-year target is and how that is broken down by the functional areas of the local authorities?
