The Taoiseach should be keenly aware of the housing shortage and the need for more houses to be built. The Minister for Finance has said he is dealing with the home building finance Bill and an agency to lend to those involved in residential house construction on terms and conditions equivalent to the commercial market from banks. I note that while the Bill is listed as priority legislation for the current session, it has not even gone to pre-legislative scrutiny. Is that an indication of what the Taoiseach considers to be a priority approach to dealing with the housing crisis?
