The well-being framework is setting out to go well beyond just economic measures in gauging progress for the country. It takes in environmental and social issues together as opposed to separately or in isolation. It is a fresh approach. The framework is showing positive results in ten of the 11 dimensions. This year, the Government has focused on equality in the analysis. There seems to be a particularly large difference in housing and the built environment despite record funding in housing and a huge range of support for people to buy their own homes, for example. In my community, we see the largest social housing push ever locally, in Ballyvourney, Macroom, Millstreet, Rylane and Ballincollig.

Some 150 families have moved into brand-new social homes and more are under construction. There is clearly delivery on this and the framework shows that delivery aspect of it, but there is inequality. Will the Taoiseach outline what he attributes that inequality to and what the Government plans to do to deal with it?
