The Housing Minister has denied that the Government's flagship housing plan is outdated in the face of the Ukraine war and last month's census results.

Darragh O'Brien was speaking as the Government published the Housing for All progress report for the second quarter of the year, as well as a new grant which will allow those looking to refurbish a building in a town centre access a grant of €30,000 or €50,000 if the building is derelict.
