I did not interrupt anybody, and I did not come here for a row. I am referring to what Members have said about inaction, just talking and no delivery. That is just not true. The facts do not support Deputy Clare Daly. We accept that there is not a house for everybody. We accept the supply issues. We are not saying that the issue is solved in any shape or form. However, it is also untrue to say that nothing has been happening or that there are no houses. That is not true. I can bring the Deputy to the houses.

Deputy Curran said that nothing has happened in three years. That is not true. We are spending taxpayers' money, as was sanctioned by Members, and that is delivering and building houses. All of them are not where everybody wants them and there are not enough for everybody, but it is untrue to continue saying in the House that no houses are being built.
