Chapter 7: The Housing Agency’s Revolving Acquisition Fund (26 Jan 2023) Matt Carthy: I read in this morning's edition of The Irish Timesthat the Housing Commission has indicated that Ireland needs somewhere between 42,000 and 62,000 new homes each year, which is wildly out of kilter with the targets set out by the Government and the Department. What are the actual targets?

Chapter 7: The Housing Agency’s Revolving Acquisition Fund (26 Jan 2023) Matt Carthy: The point I am making is that, for several years, members of this committee and others have been saying it is their belief that the housing targets have been understated in terms of what is actually required, and the Department has disputed that. Mr. Doyle is now saying that the Department is reviewing that. When will that review be completed?

Chapter 7: The Housing Agency’s Revolving Acquisition Fund (26 Jan 2023) Matt Carthy: All I have is the report in The Irish Times, which indicates that with population growth at the upper end of official projections the figure quoted even excludes recent arrivals from Ukraine. Does Mr. Hogan accept that prior to March, in fact for some years, our targets have been below what is actually required?

Chapter 7: The Housing Agency’s Revolving Acquisition Fund (26 Jan 2023) Matt Carthy: I was asking about the holistic figures. I see that the new Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform received a briefing from his officials which showed the capital underspend in the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage at €1 billion. Does Mr. Doyle dispute that figure of €1 billion for 2022?

Surely Mr. Doyle has a ballpark figure. Is the 900 which has been mentioned in an official document that has been presented to the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform way off kilter or is it in that ballpark?
