I was going to suggest, as Deputy Ó Broin requested, that the committee write to the Minister and ask him to meet the Home for Good Coalition to discuss this further. It is a good suggestion that we also write to the Minister providing him with an outline of what was discussed by the committee today and asking him to set out how the Department is progressing that action in the programme for Government. It may be working on a proposal in parallel. We need to know what wording it is proposing. There may be many iterations of the wording as we progress this matter.

I thank the Home for Good Coalition for attending the meeting today. The meeting has been really informative and helpful. As Deputy Ó Broin said, this is a very positive step in housing as a right. We have made good progress here today.
