Rory Hearne (Dublin North-West, Social Democrats)

I thank everyone for attending. I have a couple of questions that relate to when the Minister was in the last day. Maybe he can explain to me and the public the overall figure that has been spent on housing. I want to deconstruct this a little bit because there is a level of spin, or whatever one wants to call it, in the Minister's statement that €8 billion a year is spent on housing. I asked about this the last day but I did not get satisfactory answers. Approximately €3.8 billion or €4 billion is allocated for capital, €1.5 billion for current and I understand that the rest of the €8 billion is LDA spending. That capitalisation is referenced. Will the Minister break down those figures? How much actual money is being spent on building new builds of social and affordable housing for 2025? Is there an estimate? Does the Minister have an approximate figure for that?
