Fianna Fáil has come under serious pressure to unveil its priorities for the 2020 housing budget.

Sinn Féin representative Eoin Ó Broin TD hit out at the party's spokesperson Darragh O'Brien over his failure to publish the proposals and detail their costs.

Deputy Ó Broin said: "There are a lot of vague utterances on Housing coming from Darragh O'Brien but nothing costed, and nothing published.

"We need to see what Fianna Fail deems to be an acceptable spend on Housing for 2020 and what these spending priorities should be."

He continued: "According to media reports their 'proposals' include 'an affordable rent scheme on State land'.

"That is already happening in Dublin. How much would Fianna Fáil like to see invested in the roll out of affordable cost rental in 2020?

"How many additional social homes would they like to delivered?

"What additional measures would they like to see introduced for renters?

"All questions Fianna Fáil has failed to answer in the past."

"Fianna Fáil need to publish costed proposals and stop hiding behind confidence and supply while criticising others who have actually produced costed solutions," Mr Ó Broin concluded.
