Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

From the point of view of people, to use the Deputy's prism, while we are increasing the provision of social housing for next year - as we are doing with 6,545 homes being delivered through local authority construction, Part V provision and the refurbishment of long-term voids, 1,300 units being delivered through acquisition programmes and 2,130 units being delivered by leasing - is it not right that, as we increase that output and seek to get it to the level that will in time meet the existing level of need, we also make use of stock that is already built and use those houses to provide homes to citizens who will need social housing that is being built at present?
