Absolutely. I have a couple of follow-on questions. The Housing Agency stated in its submission that it is "assisting the Department in reviewing the structure and operation of [the] CALF [scheme]". Will the representatives elaborate on that? What changes are being considered?

An updated repair and leasing scheme, which has been massively successful in Waterford, is mentioned in the same submission. I have spoken at this committee about it many times. If other local authorities were doing what Waterford was doing in respect of the repair and leasing scheme, we would have more than exceeded our targets. What updated considerations are being considered in both those spaces?
