Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

In 2006 there were 93,000 housing units completed. The corresponding figure for last year was 8,000, a reduction of 91%. We have a construction sector that is about half the size it should be and is very much below European standards. We should be building 25,000 to 30,000 houses a year.
