I have not seen Eoin's comment, but suffice to say that all Governments need to do better when it comes to housing and infrastructure investment. Unfortunately, as you know, there are two jurisdictions across this island: a devolved Assembly with limited powers that has been starved of resources for 14-plus years and a Government in Dublin who are failing on the housing agenda. We have targets in the Programme for Government, and we are determined to try to deliver on those.
