No... we opposed the sale of public land at half its market value to a developer. The FF/FG sweetheart will see 60% of the homes on this site sold at unaffordable prices of around €400k. All of the homes on this site should be genuinely affordable for working people.

I’m always amazed at how ill informed the height/density debate is. My view is that we need to increase density in our cities with mid-rise mixed-use developments & that those developments must be affordable. It is the only way to solve the housing & climate crises together.

10 years in Govt & FG have not delivered a single affordable home to rent or buy. Desperate to deflect from his own failure @LeoVaradkar resorts to barefaced lies. It’s time to end the FG sweetheart land deals with big developers & build genuinely affordable homes.

Taoiseach accuses Sinn Féin of blocking house building

Taoiseach Micheál Martin has told the Sinn Féin leader that her party has "questions to answer" regarding their "serial objections" to "substantial housing programmes and projects".

No surprise that FF & FG opposed our Ban on Rent Increases Bill last. They have never stood up for renters. The silence of the @greenparty_ie during last nights debate however was deafening. A clear sign that they are abandoning their pre election support for renters.

Billy, if you take the time to listen to the interview you will see SF didn’t object to this development. We proposed a larger development with better use of green space. FF & FG voted it down. Then SF Cllrs voted for the Managers proposal. Always read beyond the headlines.

More subsidies for developers? Really? Thats the plan? Here’s an idea. Why not use the €500m to build genuinely affordable homes to rent & buy. Even better why not build & buy 20,000 public homes a year to meet social & affordable housing need!

Govt has underspent its housing capital budget by €1bn since ⁦ @DarraghOBrienTD ⁩ became Minister. At least 4,000 social & affordable homes that should have been built weren’t. Thats half the number of households in emergency accommodation.

Department failed to spend €1bn earmarked for housing over past three years

Underspend could have funded construction of 4,000 social houses
