It is embarrassing for people to listen to. That is even without them talking about how they will build a house for €300,000 in Dublin. There is not a person in the country, apart from the spokesperson for housing in Sinn Féin and the leader of Sinn Féin, who seems to believe that. I hardly think the rest of the party actually believes that it is possible to build a house for €300,000.

I welcome the debate on housing here, because we are hitting targets. In fact, we are beating Sinn Féin’s five-year target on social housing, which was put forward by their spokesperson on housing in 2016. We beat it by 40%.
