Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Data (20 Feb 2019)

Eoin Ó Broin: Rebuilding Ireland is crystal clear and the direct quote comes from both the plan and the Rebuilding Ireland website. It states, "to ensure that an average of 25,000 homes are produced every year in the period to 2021". I am not disputing that the figure of 18,000 is an improvement on 14,000 in the year before and 9,000 in the year before that. I welcome every new home that is available,...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Social and Affordable Housing (20 Feb 2019)

Eoin Ó Broin: I urge the Minister not to proceed with this draconian measure. I urge him to come before the housing committee and have a reasoned discussion with us about this because he is not being given the full information. There are many examples, which we can all cite from our constituencies, where people turn down offers of accommodation, for example, because they have been offered accommodation...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Data (20 Feb 2019)

What is going to happen to ensure that this year, next year and in 2021 the...

Eoin Ó Broin: I want to correct one thing the Minister said. The target in Rebuilding Ireland is not to reach 25,000 units by 2020 and 2021. The target in the plan is to "ensure that an average of 25,000 homes are produced every year in the period to 2021". That is what Rebuilding Ireland says. Nobody expected 25,000 units in 2016, 2017 or 2018 so what the target suggests is that, as it ramps up, about...
