I did not say that. I have answered the questions. Come on, now. The Deputy is trying to put words in my mouth, as she has done previously.

I said the memorandum we got did not relate to the headlines. I am not responsible for headlines. There was no memorandum predicting that 300,000 jobs would be lost.

Amárach, beidh mé ag cruinniú tábhachtach sa Bhruiséil, ag labhairt agus ag plé leis na páirtnéirí ó gach cearn den Eoraip. Tá mé ag súil leis. Gan amhras, beidh an-chuid ábhar faoi chaibidil againn i rith na laethanta atá le teacht. Tomorrow, 15 December, I will attend the eastern partnership summit in Brussels. On Thursday, 16 December, I will attend a meeting of the European Council, followed by a euro summit, also in Brussels. At the eastern partnership summit, European Union leaders will be joined by our count…

You hate the European Union. You condemn the European Union, and you are silent on Russia and Ukraine.

Very interesting.

The Government has prioritised housing as the key social issue that needs to be addressed. In that context, it produced Housing for All, which is the very opposite to the so-called deafening silence on the part of the Government to which the Deputy referred. I have listened to her for quite a long time on housing but I see very little substance. I see a lot of sloganeering, sound bites and nice catchy phrases, but I do not see real substance from a policy perspective.

I would say to Deputy Cullinane that if Sinn Féin had voted for the proposals relating to the Oscar Traynor Road site, I would believe a bit more in its credibility. Sinn Féin needs to explain.

I do not understand how Deputy McDonald can stand up and rant on in the sound-bite manner in which she does and sit down without explaining to anybody why Sinn Féin voted against 853 social, affordable and cost-rental homes at the Oscar Traynor Road site. The latter was the latest in a series of deliberate decisions by Sinn Féin to oppose substantial housing proposals for Dublin. In Dublin City Council alone since the local elections, Sinn Féin has voted against 5,000 homes in Dublin.

It voted against 1,200 social, affordable and private homes in Donabate. It voted against them. How can we declare something a crisis in that light? I have said this to all, but Sinn Féin in particular has been opposing projects across the board that involve social and affordable housing. The Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage has committed to 4,000 new affordable purchase and cost rental homes in 2022 and €676 million has been allocated in respect of affordable measures across the board. The help-…

It is like Tommy Cooper long ago, it is a case of just like that. "Just like that, we will make it 20,000". The Minister says there will be 4,000 affordable and, just like that, Sinn Féin will say "We will make it 8,000". There is no substance behind it. It is just empty rhetoric as far as I can see. The Sinn Féin approach to housing is to exploit the housing crisis to suit its electoral and political base. That is the fundamental objective there. Whatever one's views are, Housing for All represents a very comprehe…

-----than anything Sinn Féin has to offer.

The Housing for All strategy was announced some months ago. It is the plan. I challenge Deputy McDonald to come up with a detailed, substantive alternative plan to the Housing for All strategy because she knows deep down the detail is there and it is comprehensive. The issue is now delivery and implementation because supply is key to the housing crisis. That begs the question of why her party on the ground consistently opposes-----

-----significant housing.

It does.

Deputy Carthy has said it - it is ideology.

On Oscar Traynor Road, how long more are we going to have to hang around waiting?

Deputy Carthy has been very helpful in his interruption because he has confirmed Sinn Féin voted against the Oscar Traynor Road proposal.

That is 853 social, affordable and cost rental houses.

As a party, Sinn Féin has voted consistently-----

-----and its Members come in here then and attack the Government.
