I thank Mr. Keegan.

Moving to the witnesses from Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, my colleague, Deputy Carroll MacNeill, asked me to inquire about plans to deliver units for those with disabilities, either physical or intellectual. Are there potential pockets in this regard concerning infill that can be targeted in the context of delivery? In the housing action plan for the area, there is an ambition to deliver 10% of the stock for people with disabilities. Where does this process stand? What is being done for future years? Have sites been identified for three and four units, for example, to cater for people with intellectual disabilities? I refer to working with agencies such as the HSE, the Brothers of Charity Services or whatever organisations may be operating in this space in the local authority area to deliver these units.
