I apologise to all our guests. I had to go out and do a "Drivetime" interview and the argument with Senator Cummins lasted longer than RTÉ expected.

I have one question. My colleague, Deputy Gould, and others raised earlier most of the issues I would have raised. I want to return to Mr. Moynihan's comment on the policy statement on Housing Options for Our Ageing Population and the fact that no implementation reports have been published since 2019. When the departmental officials were before us earlier, they extolled the successful implementation of almost all of the 40 actions. My question, to Mr. Moynihan and the other two organisations, is: from their experience on the ground - I acknowledge it has been difficult because we have had Covid and it is not necessarily a fair comparison from the Department's point of view - how much implementation of those 40 key actions that were in that important policy statement have they seen progressed and are there any that they would have a concern that are progressing less speedily than they should do that they would like us as a committee to raise with the Department or issues where there could be more progress than there has been?
