The Minister and I were both critical of his predecessor for presenting information in a way that was less than clear. It would be helpful if the Minister were to provide a report on voids, broken down between long-term voids and casual vacancies. Some 1,200 properties were funded through a similar programme last year. Only 300 of those were long-term voids. The rest were casual vacancies. Likewise with homelessness, inside the 5,000 exits figure are preventions. We need to separate those two.

Regarding pyrite, is the Limerick funding coming from the old pyrite fund or the new €40 million for pyrite and mica? Is the Minister actively considering County Clare for inclusion in that?

Regarding the local infrastructure housing activation fund, LIHAF, some 20,000 units were to be funded by 2019, with 8,000 at a discount. Only 925 of the discounted units, or 8%, have been delivered to date. The Minister's frustration and mine was well expressed before. What is the Minister's plan for that?

On legislation, while it does not strictly relate to the Estimates, it would be helpful to the committee if the Minister could indicate when he hopes to bring legislation forward, particularly relating to the marine development plan and the Land Development Agency.
