I welcome the provision of a sum of €10 million for local authority housing. Given the current price of property, it would be good for local authorities to invest more in housing because they would obtain good value in current conditions. While it is good that this provision has been made, it would be even better if a larger sum were provided. The local authority housing list is long and investment in this area would be a good idea.

Unspent budgets were not always carried over. For this reason, I welcome the decision to carry over the moneys and proceed with the projects.
