I thank the Deputy. As I said, I know he is very passionate about this matter and has been for a long time. He acknowledged that there does seem to be a pathway here. I hear his comments around communication, and I will bring that back to the Minister for housing. I will also bring back the Deputy's suggestion around an interdepartmental group.

He mentioned that he wants that review as soon as possible. I understand that this implementation steering group will produce a report on the operation of the enhanced scheme that covers the period July to December 2023, that is, the first six months of that scheme. It should be noted, obviously, that this is not a review of the fundamental terms and conditions of the scheme, but it is a report. That will be submitted for his consideration in the coming weeks to the Minister. I understand he will give it the due care and attention it deserves and note any recommendations of the group. I will certainly bring the Deputy's comments back to the relevant Ministers in this regard.
