In terms of housing policy, plans and resources the Government is the biggest actor, player and provider of resources in the housing market. That is a long way from the so-called free market extremism that Deputy Barry is asserting and labelling the Government with. The opposite is the case. The Government is providing record numbers of social housing. Last year we built close to 30,000 houses. The Government is supporting affordable housing, cost rental and Croí Cónaithe. Think of all the various schemes from social to affordable.
