Housing is the Government's number one priority and ministers will be doing everything they can to provide housing for people, Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said.

Speaking on his way into Cabinet, Mr Martin said supply needs to be ramped up significantly and the Government has committed to deliver the largest social housing programme in the history of the State.
