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

Paschal Donohoe (FG), Dublin Central

Yes, but if we were to increase it, you would be against that as well. All you have to offer is a solution that you admit has not been done before. As the Housing Commission says, this needs to be done in phases and this is what we will do. As I have said already, we have shown our ability to increase capital investment in such a way that is the reason, while acknowledging the great difficulty that so many face in looking for a home, we have seen housing commencement and housing output, in particular during the first three months of this year, get to a place that many, including I am sure Deputy Boyd Barrett, thought would never happen. It is happening, and we are going to continue with that progress.
