Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

Yes, but it does not build houses. Let us not conflate the two. It is important to prevent homelessness but that scheme does not build houses. The focus has to be on how we get houses built faster and as quickly as we possibly can.
I note that Deputy Hearne is quoting Sherry FitzGerald. When the Government used similar private sector bodies last year to identify projections, his party subsequently ridiculed the reliance on private sector agencies for doing that. The Deputy cannot have it both ways.
