Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I will have to ask the Minister, Deputy Eoghan Murphy, to provide a reply to the Deputy on the specifics. He must, however, bear in mind that what we are trying to do at the moment is increase our social housing stock. A huge amount of social housing stock was sold off and there are consequences as a result. It is not the cause of the housing crisis by any means but we need to be careful that we are not on the one hand building new social housing and on the other hand selling off the social housing that we have. Surely that is not a sensible policy.
