Is léir do gach duine go bhfuil éigeandáil tithíochta ann. Caithfidh mé súil ar ghné amháin toisc go bhfuil roinnt de m’am imithe. If the Government regarded this as a housing emergency, it would be funding regeneration projects to the hilt to make sure that those public sites would have public, social and affordable housing.

We now have a situation where the Dublin City Council CEO has said he is putting a three-year pause on regeneration projects in this city because of a lack of central government funding. I cannot figure out where the housing emergency is, or where it sits in the Minister's brain, if the Government cannot even fund those projects, which involve public land with social and affordable houses on it.
