The Taoiseach told the electorate a few months ago that the housing target for this year was 41,000 homes. Is he now saying that target is gone? Is he now saying that he has no housing target for 2025? What is the Government's housing target for 2025? The Taoiseach was explicitly clear a few months ago with the electorate that it was 41,000 homes. Is that still his target or has he ditched it? Why is he refusing to answer questions about what the Government's housing target is for 2025?

Second, there is that question the Taoiseach has now been asked three times but he has not answered. Did the Minister for Finance give the Taoiseach that information from the Department of Finance that the Government's housing completion projections of 40,000 homes were not going to happen? Did he give the Taoiseach that information before the election day? Is the Taoiseach going to answer that question? He has dodged it three times; this is his fourth time. Will he answer that question?
