Budget 2025
Dail Éireann — 2024-07-09
============================================================

Paschal Donohoe (FG), Dublin Central

We would get to that point in the same way as we do with many other targets. We would do it step by step. Despite Deputy Boyd Barrett's best hopes and ambitions, we do not live in a centrally planned economy. We do not live in an economy in which there is only one thing in respect of which we have to make progress. We have to build more homes. We also have to build more schools. We also have to build better infrastructure, better gas, better electricity and better water to allow more homes to be built.
