Simon Harris, the leader of Fine Gael, has stated his commitment to addressing the housing issue and delivering 250,000 homes between 2025 and 2030. He clarifies that this does not mean a smooth delivery of 50,000 homes per year and rejects the notion that his party has turned a generation into 'generation rent'. Harris emphasizes the need to increase ambition and exceed the target of 33,000 houses this year.
Fine Gael leader Simon Harris has said that he wants to bring a"renewed focus" to the issue of housing, adding that his promise of 250,000 homes between 2025 and 2030 was not going to mean a"smooth delivery" of 50,000 a year.
He said that the 250,000 homes by 2030 was a commitment he made and where Ireland needs to be, adding that the 33,000 houses target was going to be exceeded this year. He described Cabinet reshuffles as"lonely and difficult" decisions to make, adding that a range of factors need to be considered when putting Cabinet together.
He added that the future of the party was about reconnecting on core priorities, and that the"woke labels" were not helpful.
