Helen McEntee (Meath East, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

More people are choosing to come back to this country to work, start families and set down roots. We can choose whichever facts we want but there are more people coming home. To answer the Deputy's point, we built more houses last year, are building more this year and will continue to build more next year to respond to the demands and needs that are there and to ensure young people have an opportunity in this country not only to have their own homes but also to buy their own homes.
