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

The Deputy is at it again, trying to interrupt. She should allow me to respond to her sound bites and sloganeering and the absence of substance that comes across time and again. The bottom line is that we have to do more than what we have done already. Let us be very clear that we are making progress. The bottom line is that the Deputy is saying that the figures need to increase and we should be building 40,000 homes per year. My point is that we cannot build 40,000 homes per year if the Deputy herself objects to 1,400 units in her own constituency and her party objects to thousands of houses across the board.
