The Taoiseach is defending the Government's approach to housing targets.

It's after the number of homeless people reached another record high, with 641 adults accessing emergency accommodation in Cork last month.

The Government is promising to build 41,000 homes this year, despite missing last year's target of 34,000.

Micheál Martin insists they are taking steps to accelerate delivery:

"The focus that we have here is to get houses built. To remove the barriers to house construction and two things we're doing is in the context of the strategic housing office and the housing division within the Department of Public Expenditure."
