Time and again, we have heard from Government that it recognises that dereliction is a problem in Dublin, yet there is not a single penny in Dublin City Council to compulsorily purchase derelict properties in the city. There are 4,500 derelict properties across the city but only a tiny fraction of these are on the derelict sites register. Nearly 5,000 people are facing eviction notices but this Government has turned its back on both the tenant in situ scheme and the acquisition of second-hand properties. I listened to what the Taoiseach said in reply to Deputy Ellis. The reality is that there is no reassurance for the 120 families who are eligible for the tenant in situ scheme but who cannot access it because no is funding available. They are facing homelessness this year and there is no funding within Dublin City Council. Will the Government put money in place for Dublin City Council and other local authorities this year for those families facing homelessness?

In my honest opinion, Dublin City Council could be performing better with regard to housebuilding and could have performed better over the last-----

It is not its fault.

I am just saying it. There are too many coming into the House asking for more and more. To be very frank about it, I have watched O'Devaney Gardens and Oscar Traynor Road over the years and it should not take a decade to get agreement on what we do to build houses on a massive site.

That is because of the PPPs the Government has championed.

There are two further Deputies who will not get in if this continues.

There are grants available for derelict buildings and derelict houses.

This is outrageous.

You need money for that.

They are worth up to €70,000.

You need money for that.

Does the Deputy want the answer?

The grants are available. Is there any proactivity there? I am serious. There is no questioning of anything. Members just come into the House. That is what happens in politics these days.

When your developer buddies went-----

Deputy McDonald, this is not your question.

We want a solutions-based approach.

When your developer buddies went bust in-----

Any initiative on housing just gets criticised and opposed.

That is not true. We supported the Land Development Agency.

That is not true.
