Questions on Proposed Legislation
12:50 pm

I understand the Minister will bring forward an action plan for housing that will include legislative but also non-legislative proposals. The Government recognises the acute pressure on housing supply, particularly in social housing. As the Deputy knows, he has already - together with the Minister for Social Protection, Deputy Varadkar - increased the rent ceilings. This initiative is designed to deal with some of the pressure that people are experiencing. There will be additional measures and acceleration of some of the existing programmes, as well as new legislative initiatives.
