Tánaiste Micheál Martin maintains existing house-building targets, citing ESRI and National Planning Framework data.

Tánaiste Micheál Martin affirmed that existing house-building targets are publicly available, countering calls from Taoiseach Simon Harris for new targets ahead of the general election. He cited data from the ESRI and the National Planning Framework as references. Martin emphasized the public's demand for value in state spending, addressing recent controversies over high costs of government projects, while asserting that scrutiny should not hinder major infrastructure developments.
