Housing Provision

Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal

I know that but we have to contrast and compare as well with regard to how some local authorities can deliver at scale while we need to support others that are not delivering at scale. I encourage all local authorities, which have more funding than they have ever had. That is why we will exceed social housing targets for new builds this year. We will exceed our affordable housing delivery this year. I am very anxious to see more homes built in the county and city of Galway. The LDA will be heavily involved, as Deputy Connolly knows, in Galway city. The housing authorities shoulder a lot of responsibility for delivery. It is not for the lack of funding at Government level. It is not for the lack of ambition but we need to see more delivery. Galway is the area represented by Deputy Connolly. We can compare and contrast delivery in Galway with comparable local authorities throughout the country.
