‘further believes that ultimately the delivery of more social and affordable homes is fundamental to ensuring access to affordable housing; and calls on the Minister for Communities to prioritise delivery of the Social Housing Development Plan, introduce a moratorium on the House Sales Scheme in order to stabilise social housing stock levels; and further calls on the Minister to explore options for the introduction of robust rent controls, and a public body to regulate the rental sector and deliver a fair rental system.’
