I thank the Minister and the Minister of State for the information that has been given. First, I will ask about some of the headings in housing where there are reductions in expenditure for 2022 compared to 2021. First, on subhead A25, in terms of the important area of rented accommodation inspection, not enough is being done in terms of rental inspections and enforcement. What is the rationale in cutting it from €12.5 million down to €10 million, which is a 20% reduction? That is very significant.
We will go one question at a time, thank you.
