Gabhaim buíochas le baill na comhairle as teacht os comhair an choiste arís. I thank our witnesses for attending again. I listened with interest to the earlier conversations and have a number of questions.

On housing delivery, we know that inflation has increased for construction costs. We also know that there is a national development plan calculation for Housing for All and that the capital ceilings are fixed for housing under the national development plan. With inflation affecting construction, how does the council view the amount that has been allocated? Will there be fewer houses than is planned for under Housing for All?
