Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (29 Apr 2025)

Cian O'Callaghan: I was hoping the Government had learned its lesson when it was caught out deliberately misrepresenting last year's housing delivery numbers. I was wrong. When the figures for affordable housing were finally published last week, something was clearly off with them. Cooking the books was the only way the Minister could pretend the targets had been met. The target was 6,400 new-build...
