There is no Sinn Féin housing policy. It does not exist. There is no question that there remain very significant challenges. We have an overall target this year to deliver 29,000 new homes and we intend to do that. We delivered affordable homes in the first year of Housing for All for the first time in a generation. Speaking of photo opportunities, very recently in Deputy Louise O'Reilly's constituency, we turned the sod on 1,200 new homes in Balmoston. This is one of the biggest and most significant sites in the country, with 253 affordable homes and 253 social homes. Deputy Doherty might ask Deputy O'Reilly what her councillor in Fingal County Council did in objecting to that development and opposing it in the council. Supported by this Government under the affordable housing fund, 1,200 families there will get new homes. While challenges remain, our plan is taking hold.
