Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

As I stated earlier, the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Deputy Roche, will shortly bring forward a detailed paper on the Government's next set of initiatives. We brought forward many initiatives over recent years, which is why the supply of housing in this country has increased from a stagnant 20,000 to 25,000 homes to the current figure of 75,000. From the examination of these reports over the past year or so, there are a number of other useful initiatives, including affordable housing, and these will shortly be brought forward.
