Helen McEntee (Meath East, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy. There is a record €6 billion being invested in all our different housing policies and only in recent weeks the Minister for housing secured additional funding, so we are doing everything we can to support not just the development of new homes, the bringing back of homes into stock and the development of social housing, but also to support every person to be able to purchase or to stay in the home they are in. There is a lot of money going into it and every further extension of that will have to be negotiated in the budget. I will raise the fact the Deputy brought this up with the Minister for Housing directly.
