The Taoiseach has hit out at local councillors voting against housing projects, saying councillors objecting to large housing projects is one of the biggest problems when it comes to delivery.
Last night Sinn Féin and Social Democrat councillors in Dublin's Fingal voted against a development of 1,200 homes in Donabate.
Sinn Féin said the party wasn't satisfied with only 40 per cent of the development being reserved for social and affordable housing.
It still got the go-ahead with support of other councillors.
The development in Donabate was approved by the council, 31 votes to nine.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin saying blocking developments won't get homes built: "There's always an excuse to object to something.
"But for gods sake we need to get houses built in this country."
