Yesterday, I asked the Taoiseach about the Government making incorrect claims about housing delivery. He was not able to give a full answer, so I wish to ask him about it again. The Government claims 1,765 new-build social homes were delivered in the first half of this year. Analysis by Laoise Neylon of the Dublin InQuirershows that the majority of social homes in Dublin city that were categorised as delivered in the first half of this year were not completed. Out of 200 homes claimed to be delivered, 138 were not finished and were still being worked on several months later. This is not disputed by the organisations involved in their delivery. Why are homes that are not completed ending up in the official completion figures of social homes and is this happening in other parts of the country as well?
