From 2000 to 2004, they hit about 90% of their targets. In the period from 2014 to 2018,...

Eoin Ó Broin: I urge all Members of the House, including the Minister of State, to read the report of the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission on inequality and discrimination in the housing system which was published this week.
