Kieran O'Donnell (Limerick City, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

When the Deputy brought this up previously, I undertook that we would get the report. We have a report now. We have a working document. It is not fair to say what the Deputy has said. Social housing delivery has taken place in Galway. We would obviously like to see a lot more but it is not as if there has not been any. In 2021, Galway city delivered 129 houses and Galway county delivered 117. In 2022 there was an improvement; Galway city delivered 150 and Galway county delivered 224. We have a document. We should deal with what we have now. We will give it active, urgent consideration. We will engage with the task force. We will give the Deputy a copy of the report as quickly as possible and then we will engage with her on it. We are all on the same page here. We have to look at the current situation. We have a lot of talk about the past. I am interested in the present and in the future. We have a report. It is a detailed report and we will give it detailed consideration. We will then forward a copy to the Deputy once we have done that. She will appreciate that in her own deliberations. It is important that we act and that we are seen to give active consideration to everything that is recorded and requested in the report.
