Frances Fitzgerald (Dublin Mid West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

There was very detailed engagement on a range of issues. A total of 1,250 houses were built last year and there are detailed plans to deliver far more this year. A huge number of houses which were not available before the focus on that with the local authorities and the focus on the social programme were brought back into use. I will ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government to communicate with the Deputy about that issue but he has already put a parliamentary question on the matter to the Minister.
