Mr. Brendan McGrath:

First, we have a housing task force that is chaired by a former Secretary General of the Department. That meets at least four times a year. That is a combined city and county task force. We have a full in-depth review once a quarter of delivery, reasons for hold-up, the pipeline and various other issues. In addition, I echo what Ms Doherty says, our team has a very robust, good, positive relationship with the Department. There are regular reviews right across the board, whether it is to do with Traveller accommodation, homelessness, the delivery of social and affordable housing. The new structures in the Department lend themselves very well to that. Only last week for example, every local authority chief executive, plus my two colleagues here met with the Minister. We have had ongoing and frequent engagement with Ministers, from the previous Minister, Eoghan Murphy, to the current Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien. There is very robust scrutiny. I assure the Senator that the Department asked why we were behind target. We explained it but, equally, there is a very robust pipeline there to make up the slack. I am extremely confident that when we get to the end of 2026, not only will we have met the targets, but we will have exceeded them on both the social and affordable side.
