Deputy Bacik said the plan lacks ambition. It does not. I am always open to constructive points and criticism. Indeed, I have found the Labour Party to be constructive in the main but not its idea that we can simply increase capital investment by a further €1 billion without looking at the capacity to deliver the houses. We need to build up capacity in the sector too. That is what we are doing, in particular on social and affordable housing. It is a question of catching up because of the many years of under-delivery, five of which were under the Labour Party.
