The Minister of State, Deputy Noel Ahern, confirmed last night that there is a remarkable record of achievement by this Government with regard to housing. He clearly demonstrated that housing is a priority for the Government. There is a clear and comprehensive housing strategy which is designed to increase supply. We are increasing supply.

We are also increasing access to housing for lower income groups and improving the housing conditions of local authority tenants, the elderly, the homeless and people with disabilities.
