The Minister, Deputy Coveney, in his recent quarterly report said that 1,000 units would be built this year. That compares to 5,000 units set out in the plan last year.

A Fianna Fáil Dublin county councillor said to me last night that there are 500 acres zoned for residential use that are available for construction that are not being used. Why is that the case when 7,000 people are homeless?
