The Minister indicated that the ambition was to build the programme up to building 25,000 houses per annum or more if possible. He said this was the beginning. We can all clearly see that there is a supply side shortage at the moment. The challenge is to ensure that over the medium period the supply and demand more or less match. Are the Department's analysis and decision-making in terms of family units, demographics and so forth based on CSO information?
