We see that cynicism when voters are told that it will take a decade to deliver, but then the Opposition cries foul after just two years of Fianna Fáil being back in government after a decade. We see that cynicism when public housing on public land is called for, but the progress of the council-led affordable purchase scheme and the affordable rental scheme is ignored. Some Deputies in the Opposition had their chance in government. They never legislated for either of these aspects; we have. After a decade of undersupply and a reliance on the market, the State is back building and developing public homes, including 1,700 in my constituency. That is real change.
