Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I absolutely support all of the excellent work that the Minister for housing is doing in looking at what further measures can be put in place to lead to more homes being built. Regarding the Deputy's question, I support looking at ideas that will make more loans and more support available in our economy to lead to more homes being built. However, the Minister for housing and I do not want to see anything happen that leads back to the return of levels of lending and commercial practices that only create further difficulty. The Minister for housing will have the same view as me in that regard. What he is doing, as is his right, is looking at the different options that can be put in place to lead to more homes being built. He and I are clear that we do not want to see anything happen that is a source of additional financial risk because if that additional financial risk happens, it will only lead to more homes being built in the time ahead-----
