No. 7 is an update on Rebuilding Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness. On behalf of the committee, I welcome the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government, Deputy Eoghan Murphy, and Department officials to today's meeting.

Members are reminded of the long-standing parliamentary practice to the effect that they should not comment on, criticise or make charges against a person outside the House or an official either by name or in such a way as to make him or her identifiable. There will be no opening statements. We will go straight into questions starting with Deputy Casey.
