Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

Deputy Gould, it is no laughing matter. If this is described as a catastrophe, then all bets are off in respect of how we provide housing in this country. That is the point I am making. Sinn Féin cannot play it both ways. You cannot say in this House it is a catastrophe and in another chamber vote against housing and housing provision. It is time to get off the fence. I make that point sincerely. I do not think the Deputy can reconcile those two stances.
The Government is making progress. We will exceed our targets for this year. I repeat that we will build more than 24,500 houses this year. We need to do more and build more rapidly.
