Confidence in Government: Motion Dail Éireann — 2023-03-29 ============================================================ Eoin Ó Broin (SF), Dublin Mid-West With respect to the 30,000 homes, independent experts are telling the Government that we need at least 50,000 so even hitting 30,000, if that is the true figure, comes nowhere close to what is required. Interestingly, there is no more talk of increased commencements because we only learned this week that they are now 20% down on last year. There is no more talk about increased planning permissions because again, they are down on last year. --- Source: Houses of the Oireachtas.
