Some 3,800 homes are due to be built on the Irish Glass Bottle site yet only 350 of them will be social housing. How can the Government justify the low level of social housing and the unaffordable but so-called affordable homes on that site? The Government needs to buy more social housing and genuinely affordable homes instead of allowing 75% of them to go to private ownership and almost certainly be bought by private vulture funds. It needs to ensure that people who live and work locally are prioritised so they can continue to live and work in their community. When will contracts be signed? Will the Government ensure that it and Dublin City Council purchase extra social and affordable homes on this site?

I thank Deputy Andrews for raising the issue regarding the Irish Glass Bottle site. This is an issue which the Minister, Deputy Ryan, has also raised. I will ask the Minister for housing to come back to the Deputy directly on the point he made around the affordable and social housing on the site.
