Terence Flanagan (Dublin North East, Fine Gael)

——South Dublin County Council, 4,500 on the affordable housing list in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council and 750 people on the affordable housing list in Fingal County Council. We want to see new thinking in this area.

The Minister stated recently that if councils are not using the money hoarded to build houses under Part V, he will confiscate it. The Minister might advise us how much money has been taken from local authorities that have not produced the goods or delivered on Part V. What other measures is he taking to ensure Dublin City Council reopens its affordable housing list?
