Housing Provision
Dail Éireann — 2021-06-24
============================================================

Eoin Ó Broin (SF), Dublin Mid-West

Sinn Féin makes no apology for opposing sweetheart land deals for developers that will see 50% to 70% of the homes on public land sold at prices over €400,000. That is bad housing policy and reckless use of a public resource. I remind the Minister that Members of his party sided with Sinn Féin and the Social Democrats in opposing the appalling sweetheart land deal in Oscar Traynor Road. Despite the fact the Minister has been given an alternative proposal supported by a majority of councillors on Dublin City Council in March, he is setting delay after delay on the delivery of those much-needed 800 social and affordable homes. Does the Minister believe he will reach the 4,000 affordable homes target by 2025? If so, how much will be invested year on year to meet the target?
