The purpose of my questions is to ascertain the extent to which short, medium and long-term plans for social and affordable housing can be identified and produced. I commend the Minister of State, Deputy Jan O'Sullivan, on the way she has been dealing with the housing emergency which she inherited at a time when few resources were available. I am anxious that cognisance be taken of the supports available from the Department of Social Protection, which will diminish in time with the increase in social and affordable housing.
