Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

There was no political pressure applied. I am happy to confirm that once again. The Labour Party has six or seven Deputies. She may not know this yet, but I imagine she will find that two of those will not be contesting the next election. That is roughly a third, which is quite a lot. People move on and retire, and they have the right to do so.
Tá an plean Tithíocht do Chách ag obair. Tá os cionn 400 daoine ag ceannach a gcéad teach gach seachtain, an líon is airde ó thréimhse an tíogair Cheiltigh. Tá an uimhir tithe sóisialta is fearr againn ó na seachtóidí agus tá tosaigh ag preabadh ar ais arís, Tá a fhios agam go gcaithfimid níos mó a dhéanamh. Baineann an pacáiste tithíochta atá aontaithe ag an Rialtas inniu le Tithíocht do Chách a luathú. Tagann sé ón gcomhairle don Rialtas ón gCoimisiún Tithíochta agus ón gcruinniú Feabhra tithíochta, a tharla siar i mí Eanáir. Tá sé faoi thrí rudaí: an costas tógála a laghdú; an luas a dhéantar athchóiriú ar fhoirgnimh atá folamh a mhéadú; agus maoiniú Rialtais chun árasáin a thógáil ar cíos inacmhainne.
