This committee works on a collegiate and cross-party basis. Are there things it would be helpful for us to emphasise with the Department to make those prices affordable? I take from what Mr. Keegan is saying that the €700 to €900 band would be much more in line with what would be affordable. We are quite happy, as a committee, to try to put pressure on the Department to achieve that, subject to us agreeing that in private session of course. What is Mr. Keegan's key ask? What does the Department need to do in pounds, shillings and pence to assist with bringing the rents down to the required level?
