Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Sep 2023)

Ivana Bacik: The Minister wants to deal with facts. This month marks two years since the launch of his Housing for All programme. In all the facts and on all the objective metrics, Housing for All is failing. It is failing in ambition and delivery.
