-----and what specific targets and specific interventions. Sinn Féin will not be supporting the motion. We have tabled an alternative set of proposals which are based on what we have done in the past in the costed delivery of social and affordable housing. The measures are very clear. Our view is there needs to be a doubling of capital investment by the State in the delivery of social and affordable homes. We think it is eminently achievable with both Exchequer revenue and other sources such as credit union and the Housing Finance Agency. We think Part V should be returned to 20% in standard private developments and 30% in strategic development zones to deliver more social and affordable housing. The issue is why Fianna Fáil did not secure that in the last budget or the budget before.
