============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

The Minister is reviewing the threshold. It is a low threshold. That said, we have many people on the social housing list which is why this year the Government has allocated a record €3 billion to housing and announced a record programme of social house building for the next 12 months.
Undoubtedly, that has been impacted by Covid and level 5 restrictions. However, we hope to pick that up during the remainder of the year and get a record number of social houses built this year to eat into those waiting lists.
