-----is about gifting public land to private developers.

This scheme should be 100% affordable - social housing and affordable homes. I ask the question very simply. Is €400,000 affordable for a three-bedroom house in Coolock, in the Tánaiste's view? It goes up to €475,000. It could have been affordable. This month, Ó Cualann has delivered three-bedroom affordable purchase homes in Ballymun at purchase prices of €264,000 to €295,000. Why? It is not for profit. The land was kept public, the right thing was done. The Government's policy is pushing up prices beyond the reach of anybody. Does the Tánaiste believe that the advertised price of €400,000 is affordable for a family purchasing a three-bedroom home in Coolock? It is a simple question.
