Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. N. Ahern)

I refer to the reply to Question No. 25 of 28 June 2005.

I am satisfied that Part V is contributing significantly to the provision of social and affordable housing. Its operation has been kept under continuous review and this will be monitored.
