Darragh O'Brien (Dublin Fingal, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I firmly believe, as I think the Minister, Sinn Féin and others do, that we need an affordable housing scheme. There is no such scheme at present. The Government has not built any affordable houses. I remind the Minister that the average house price in Dublin is €368,356, or 6.5 times the average household income. I am using that as an example. I am not talking about €2 million houses. The Minister and the Minister of State seem to be saying to us that houses are affordable. Where are the affordable houses? Maybe there are such houses in some areas. We have a major issue with supply. We should not fool ourselves in that regard. We have a major issue with supply.
