Taoiseach says Government 'will be held accountable' as he defends lack of annual targets in new housing plan
"Taoiseach Micheál Martin and Housing Minister James Browne have defended the lack of annual targets in their new housing plan, denying that it is an attempt to avoid being held to account."
"There are no annual targets included in the new strategy, which commits to building 300,000 homes by 2030 but does not provide any benchmarks along the way."
The new housing strategy commits to building 300,000 homes by 2030. The strategy does not include any annual targets. The absence of annual targets means there are no benchmarks provided along the way. Taoiseach Micheál Martin and Housing Minister James Browne defended the lack of annual targets. Both ministers denied that omitting annual targets was an attempt to avoid being held to account. The plan therefore sets a long-term numerical goal without interim, time-bound indicators to measure progress publicly each year.
