Michael Kitt (Galway East, Fianna Fail)

In addition, delivery of affordable homes for the first quarter of this year reached almost 950, double what was achieved in the same period last year.

While I acknowledge we are in more challenging times, I am confident this Government will continue to respond positively to meeting housing need and to the delivery of more and better quality housing within sustainable communities that will transform the lives of the people in areas like O'Devaney Gardens, Dominick Street, and St. Michael's Estate.

I commend amendment No. 1 to the motion to the House.
