Irish PM admits failure to reduce homelessness despite increased social housing.

Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris admits that despite an increase in social housing, homelessness has not decreased. He defends the government's housing efforts and dismisses claims that schemes for first-time buyers are inflating house prices, attributing price hikes to low supply. Harris proposes a €40 billion plan to build 303,000 homes over five years, aiming to lower prices. He emphasizes that solving the housing crisis requires collaboration among political parties.
