I thank the witnesses for participating. For the record, I am in Leinster House.

My first question is for the Housing Alliance, which I thank for its presentation. It is reassuring to have the Housing Alliance's support. As Mr. Dunne stated, the alliance provided 41% of social housing. It is important that there be a change in the State's housing policy and that we provide affordable rental accommodation to people on modest incomes. It is good to have the alliance's endorsement of that.

Much has been made of the 400 odd units in the first year, but will Mr. Dunne confirm what the Housing Alliance's delivery target over the next three years will be? How many units does it intend to deliver?
