Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

-----social homes were added to the social housing stock in quarter 4 2023. Last year also saw the highest level of new-build social homes since 1975: 8,100 homes, or 12,000 social homes delivered in total if leasing and acquisition and so forth are taken into account. There is a strong pipeline of 22,500 social homes. That is the way to deal with the rental issue. We simply have to increase supply and build more homes - social homes, affordable homes, cost-rental homes and so forth. There is significant regulation of the rental market. The Deputy knows that. Some 77% of the country is covered by rent pressure zones as we speak.
