Charlie McConalogue: The Government will continue to assess evolving need in terms of medium- and long-term targets. There will be a full assessment in the context of updating those targets. What we are absolutely focused on is increasing delivery and capacity and making a real difference. We are not in any way taking the foot off the throttle in doing as much as possible regarding new housing supply. While...

Ivana Bacik: I am glad the Minister says that housing is the key, number one, priority of the Government. However, we are certainly not seeing a sense of ambition and urgency when it comes to that priority. We are not seeing that trickle down into Government policies. The Minister can provide figures, but the key figure of 4,000 children in homelessness remains a shameful stain on the Government's...

Charlie McConalogue: I have just outlined that the target for last year was 29,000 and that we exceeded it and reached 33,000.

Pearse Doherty: Chuaigh níos mó ná 100,000 páiste bunscoile gan choinne scagthástála fiaclóireachta anuraidh. Tá sé soiléir ó Fheidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte gur tharla seo mar gheall nach bhfuil an fheidhmeannacht ábalta níos mó baill foirne fiaclóireachta poiblí a earcú mar gheall ar an gcosc...

Charlie McConalogue: I thank Deputy Doherty for raising this matter. This is a really important service and a really important issue. It is important we get the dental service children need at a young age. That is why it is in the school system. It is also a key priority for the Government. We have been investing over €200 million annually in the provision of oral healthcare, targeting, in particular,...

Pearse Doherty: The one thing on which I can agree with the Minister is that there is serious pressure on the system. Where we differ, however, is that the Government is putting the pressure on the system.

Charlie McConalogue: Deputy Murphy likes to portray that. He peddles the story that somehow Irish agriculture is industrial and not the family farm as we portray it. That is totally false.
