Darragh O'Brien (Dublin Fingal, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

The Deputy's arrogance knows no limits and I would check it if I were him. We have delivered 2,180 cost-rental homes from nothing, and it might disappoint him to hear that the pipeline of cost rental amounts to 7,700 homes.

Scaling up the delivery of cost rental, a tenure that did not exist before, will have a very positive impact on the private rental market as well. I meet those people who get their cost-rental homes. I can tell the Deputy, and he knows this from the report that was published by the Irish Council for Social Housing, that if you look at the feedback from people who have got these homes, it is absolutely completely and utterly positive and we will continue to drive the delivery of cost-rental homes for as long as we are here.
