Emer Higgins (Dublin Mid West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I just want to say to Deputy Doherty that I sit on the Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government, and Heritage. Day-in and day-out and week-in and week-out I am working cross-party with some of his colleagues to try to ensure the housing crisis is resolved, and I very much do not like him coming in here telling me that I do not care as I do not think that is a fair thing to say.

It is going to cost €10 billion a year to deliver 35,000 homes, which is a minimum figure. We need different funding streams to meet that level of required investment. Yes, we could look at credit unions as part of it and the Minister was with me when I visited Palmerstown credit union in my constituency recently-----
