Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCeann Comhairle. I will continue. This year, we have a target of 9,000 new-build social houses. Should that be delivered, as we intend it to be, it will be the single biggest delivery of social housing in any year in the history of the State. All I am saying to the Members opposite, including Deputy O'Reilly who is no longer here, which is fine, is that her colleagues in Fingal have objected to a housing scheme of 1,200 homes, including 253 social homes and 253 affordable housing with the …

Deputy Ó Broin cannot help himself.

It is not illegal for people to own their own homes.

From the contributions of the Members opposite, it seems they do not hold that position. It speaks to the fact that a sustainable housing market is needed. The market needs to serve the people so that people can have good public social housing that is built to a high quality. I have visited such housing all across the country.

If Deputy Ó Broin went to Spiddal and met the families who got those four apartments-----

-----he might not be as flippant and trite as he is being here right now.

I am not going to-----

Deputy Ó Broin cannot help himself. I am not going to lower myself to his level. His performance so far here this evening - and it has been a performance - speaks for itself. I am trying to address the points he has raised. We have brought in a 2% cap on rent increases, which Sinn Féin supported. Sinn Féin has actually supported ten of the 11 pieces of legislation I have brought forward over the past 12 to 14 months. Despite this, according to Sinn Féin, we are doing everything wrong. There is a little bit of a con…

How is Sinn Féin actually going to deliver? Is it-----

This is honestly ridiculous.

Throughout this debate, the Deputy opposite has not been able to behave or control himself.

It is unfortunate that I have been shouted down for half of this debate. It really is. If Deputies are to take things seriously and table motions that deserve proper debate and discourse-----

There is no point. Deputy Ó Broin should be ashamed of himself.

I assure you that we will not interject.

We did not do so right the way through. Try to behave yourself.

His name is Ó Broin.

I cannot respond to the debate because Sinn Féin tabled the motion. However, I have taken a note of Deputy Sherlock's point.

I am not deflecting.

The Deputy can give me a copy of her script if she likes, if she thinks I missed any of it.

I am not sure how I feel about that.
