After 13 years of Fine Gael in government homeownership has collapsed, with 40% of people under 34 left living with their parents.

Despite promising 50,000 affordable homes for under €250,000, in my constituency of Dublin Fingal, the Fianna Fáil Minister with responsibility for housing is delivering so-called affordable homes that will cost more than €550,000 over the lifetime of the mortgage. This is not affordable for anyone on a normal wage. It is barely affordable for people on a massive wage.

The Government's housing plan is not working. We need a new vision, new ambition and new policies. Does the Taoiseach seriously consider that €550,000 can be classed as an affordable home? That is what people in my constituency are being expected to pay and they are being told by the Taoiseach, the Minister and the Government that it is affordable.

We have many affordable housing schemes-----

It is just the one I asked about, a Cheann Comhairle. Does the Taoiseach think €550,000 is affordable?

Five hundred and fifty thousand euro is not affordable for many people.

I thank the Taoiseach.

Excuse me, the Deputy is looking-----

It is on the website. The Government called it an affordable home.

Please, Deputy.

The Deputy might please have a bit of decorum. She can either ask the question or answer the question; she cannot do both.

I got the answer.

No, you did not get the answer.

I did.

You cut me off and-----

You said it was not affordable. That was the answer I was looking for.

Please, let the Taoiseach answer.

You cut me off again.

Deputy, please.

It is rare enough that we get an answer, and I got one.

You cut me off.

Five hundred and fifty thousand euro is not affordable and the Taoiseach has confirmed it.

A two-way conversation has rapidly developed.

I said it is not affordable for many people at those prices. That is why the Government is providing a variety of different affordable housing schemes. We are also providing many supports for first-time buyers in the Deputy's constituency, which Sinn Féin oppose and would get rid of if it was in Government. I do not know why the Deputy is shaking her head and saying no. Sinn Féin would get rid of the first home scheme. That is what it said-----

The Government is pushing up prices.

It would get rid of the help-to-buy scheme. Those are two measures that are helping the Deputy's constituents in Dublin Fingal-----

Affordability is important.

-----to buy a home for which she is not in favour.

Affordability is important.
