Text

I thank the Minister for his precise and concise answer. The allocation that he has made, further to the allocation that he received from the Finance Minister, shows that the Executive will fall not just short, but far short, of their target for social home starts by the end of the mandate. Will he confirm, on the record now, given that the Programme for Government promised nearly 6,000 social homes by the end of the mandate, that there is literally no way that that can be achieved, based on the housing starts that he has announced this year?
