Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

I thank Deputy Gould for raising this important matter. It is not a question of the Government coming in here and saying, "We are doing a wonderful job on this", nor, I hope, is it a question of the Opposition coming here and just saying, "You are doing a terrible job on this", like a Punch and Judy show. It is a reality of outlining to the Irish people, including the people of Cork, the steps we are taking to try to move beyond the housing crisis, and I have outlined what those plans are. We have published a plan called Housing for All. The Deputy's party has yet to do that. It is a costed plan. It shows how we will significantly increase housing supply. What I say to the people of Cork is that every day more homes are being built and allocated and the highest number of social homes are being provided. I accept, however, that we have much more to do.
