Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I am talking about the issue of the housing crisis and the Government's commitment to a staged purchase scheme to increase the stock of social housing. In February 2013, the homelessness policy statement committed to eradicating long-term homelessness by 2016. Could the Taoiseach tell us what is the timeline for acquiring the necessary housing stock? Could he give us an update on the homelessness policy statement and on what measures the Government is putting in place?
