Mary Lou McDonald (SF), Dublin Central

The Taoiseach was very evasive on the issue of tax reliefs for private developers when he was asked repeatedly here today. Can he be clearer? Can he give the clarity that was given by the Minister, James Browne, that, in fact, those reliefs are being considered? Will the Taoiseach also clarify for me the €450 million that arose from a memo that went to the Cabinet committee on housing? The Government is talking about 3,000 extra homes. That money is to be spread over three years. Will the Taoiseach confirm that those 3,000 houses are not in fact additional homes but are captured within existing targets? I am asking for clarity because this Government came to office on the basis of a lack of clarity and misleading information given to the electorate on the number of homes that had been built. It is now time for a clean breast of it and clarity-----
