I thank Ms Reeves. I am glad we were able to hold this session today. I am aware that we have received written requests on two previous occasions to commence pre-legislative scrutiny of this Bill. We had a gap in our timetable, so I am happy to commence it today. It is very timely to bring three agencies together and optimise many of their functions, particularly given that the key priorities in Housing for All include identifying land and land activation, especially in areas of dereliction and vacancy. Anything that can assist us to activate land is helpful.

I invite members to ask questions, beginning with Fianna Fáil.
