Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I note this morning that not only are there objections to the modular housing that Deputy Martin is proposing but that other such schemes have also been objected to. There is a legal process to be gone through here. Deputy Martin wants instant houses. The Government has put public money on the table for every local authority. It has given them their objectives and targets and has told them to get on with this. We are providing help in respect of the housing assistance programme and supplementary welfare, which has helped 5,800 people. Some 2,000 have been housed who were on the housing list last year and are being placed in voided units that are now renovated and comfortable.

If Deputy Martin thinks he can suddenly direct NAMA to put another €2 billion into social housing, let me hear that proposition. The Deputy should tell me what facilities he will take that money from.
