Ciarán Lynch (Cork South Central, Labour)

The figures speak for themselves. On the affordable homes aspect, I do not know if the Minister of State has made a final decision whether the scheme will be extended into the area of affordable homes. My advice would be that he should not extend it because there are already two jeopardies in this programme as I have outlined. If local authorities who were trying to get rid of affordable homes were in a position to also finance them, the Minister of State would be creating a third jeopardy.
