Catherine Connolly: This is a very specific question on the number of social housing units delivered by the local authorities in Galway city and council in 2022, 2023 and 2024 and the targets set in respect of them. Have the targets been achieved?
- Ceisteanna Eile (Atógail) - Other Questions (Resumed): Housing Provision (22 Oct 2024)

Catherine Connolly: I appreciate the Minister will get back to me tomorrow. I read all of the task force minutes, although they were delivered late. I do my best to keep up. I am still waiting on the minutes of two meetings. They have never reached their targets. This is why the task force continues to sit, albeit under a new name. It has been sitting since 2018 because we had a housing emergency. It has...

- Ceisteanna Eile (Atógail) - Other Questions (Resumed): Housing Provision (22 Oct 2024)
Darragh O'Brien: I know that but we have to contrast and compare as well with regard to how some local authorities can deliver at scale while we need to support others that are not delivering at scale. I encourage all local authorities, which have more funding than they have ever had. That is why we will exceed social housing targets for new builds this year. We will exceed our affordable housing delivery...

David Stanton: Does the Minister of State agree a convenient grid connection will lead to many applications for solar farms at a particular location? As a result of that, a whole region could be converted into a super solar farm. Does the Minister of State agree there should be guidelines in place nationally to ensure this does not happen?
