Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

It is a crisis, but the most effective way of dealing with it is to get housing supply in place and to give people strength and capacity in terms of incomes and jobs.

We are responding well to the Covid recession to an extraordinary degree in terms of the jobs that will be created.

We will exceed the jobs target in our recovery plan-----
