First, I wish the Minister of State, Deputy Dillon, the best on his appointment. No doubt it is a proud moment for his family and community.

The new Taoiseach, Deputy Harris, has conceded that the Government's housing targets are completely insufficient and that at least 50,000 new homes are needed each year. The only possible way we will get 50,000 homes every year is to make housing more affordable. One of the ways we can do that is with a measure such as introducing affordable housing zoning to reduce the price of land and the cost of housing. Will the Government introduce affordable housing zoning?
