Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We have a five year housing plan in train and we are meeting targets. We are delivering on output, which is the core problem. Supply is the problem in the rental market, in the house purchase market and in social and affordable housing. In all those areas we are taking forward our plans and we are delivering increases of supply across every sector. This is as it should be. We should be kept under pressure and scrutinised on delivery in that area, and so we will be through 2019.
