Defence and Taoiseach, too.

I was only in justice for five months.

Today is a significant day in terms of housing policy in Ireland. It comes after a number of decisions the Government has already taken. This plan today needs to be seen in the context of the national development plan published this summer, where we significantly increased the level of investment directly in house building. After listening to people across the country, local authorities and people who build our homes, we also significantly increased the funding for the enabling infrastructure, investing more than €…

That is welcome news.

There is also an additional €100 million, specifically in 2026, to get families out of emergency accommodation, particularly children-----

-----and into homes. It is new money of €100 million that has not yet been spent in 2026. Do not mislead the people. The Deputy will accept it is €100 million for 2026 that has not yet been spent. That will need to be repeated each year during the lifetime of this plan. There is a new performance fund to incentivise local authorities to exceed their annual own-build social house targets. Targets are not the ceiling. They need to go further, drive on and do more. There is a starter home programme delivering an avera…

I have.

They are.

I agree there is certainly one fundamental difference between Sinn Féin and the Government when it comes to housing. Sinn Féin wants this plan to fail because it believes it will do well if our housing plan fails. We intend to work every night and day to build housing but Sinn Féin thrives on the misery-----

-----and exploiting the intergenerational anxiety of others.

It needs this plan to fail-----

-----so it can exploit the challenges people face. Of course, the Government is not going to fail because the Government has already delivered. The Deputy talks about my record in government. We delivered over 137,000 new homes during the lifetime of Housing for All.

We will deliver 300,000 homes-----

You will not shout me down.

You will not shout me down. You will not bully me.

You will not shout me down. Let me speak, please.

No, you are shouting me down when it is my time to speak.

The people at home actually want to know what we are going to do and what we are going to do is very clear. We are going to deliver a plan that has a record level of funding, that breaks down silos, that puts a new focus on starter homes, and that sets targets for local authorities. The Deputy tells people there are no targets; that is simply untrue. The target is over 300,000 homes in the lifetime of the plan.

When we had an action plan on jobs, we did not set an annual target-----

-----but we exceeded that target, delivered jobs and got our country back to full employment.
