The issue in terms of tackling the housing crisis will not be one of resources. It will be one of delivery and getting projects built - getting them built in Tallaght, getting them built in Clondalkin, getting them built in Galway, Cork and around the country. That means that parties such as the Deputy's no longer have the luxury of opposing significant housing projects when it suits them to do so for votes on the ground. She has never responded to the points I have made to her in that regard. I have listed them all out: 975 homes being built in Clondalkin, but Sinn Féin opposed them; and 500 homes in Tallaght, 278 in Swords and 1,200 in Donabate. The Deputy has never explained to me how she thinks opposing those projects advanced the need to increase supply. We do not have enough supply.
