It is like the proverb "if the mountain will not come to Mohammed, then Mohammed must come to the mountain." I tell you now lads, it is like Groundhog Day. Have people got mass amnesia in here? We have a savage housing crisis. There are over 5,000 children in emergency accommodation and there are 16,000 adults and people are now saying they have the solutions.

For the Housing Alliance, what percentage of cost-rental homes have been delivered outside of Dublin? How many of these were brought through the cost-rental in situ programme?
