Kieran O'Donnell (Limerick City, Fine Gael)

I join in acknowledging his recent passing. He was obviously someone very close to the Deputy.

I am utterly committed to housing for all people. For me, it about providing choice. I take this very seriously and I am actively progressing and working on it. As the Deputy said, our demographic is evolving and we will have an older population. We have to bring a range of choices across the spectrum for older people and I want to work on that with all sides of the House. It is hugely important and very much a priority for this Government.
