Simon Harris: The target was a fair reflection of what could be delivered when we were having to rebuild a construction sector almost from scratch. As a result, we have now absolutely exceeded the targets. Deputy Bacik has been a voice in this House calling for revised targets to be published, which the Government has now done today. That anchors the discussion for the weeks ahead. This Government...

Ivana Bacik: While I welcome the very late publication of revised targets, I regret the fact they are being published so late. It is just not good policy-making to set targets that are too low for too long and then at the eleventh hour, one month before many offices will close for Christmas, to bring in new targets, especially when they are not being funded adequately. I have serious concerns about the...

Simon Harris: Deputy McDonald is terribly confident about the outcome of the next election when she says I am walking out the door for the final time and all of this sort of stuff. It is good to see the arrogance is back. The reality is that this Government took a responsible decision today. We decided to set housing targets for the next five years to show people how, over the period from now to 2030,...

Louise O'Reilly: You have had 14 years.
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (5 Nov 2024)
Simon Harris: We can credibly show people how we are going to do it. Sinn Féin is still refusing to answer the question of the issues the banks raised with it. When will the Deputy tell us what they are? When will she answer those questions?
