What has worked well in my county of Waterford is the carrot-and-stick approach taken in CPOs versus making them aware of the other schemes, such as repair and lease, which has delivered 165 units - 50% of the national total. When I see a single unit in both the Kildare and Meath local authorities, more needs to be done in that space. It frustrates people to see vacancy and dereliction, and rightly so, in their towns, villages and urban areas.

I refer to affordable housing, the targets for which in 2022 are 15 and 10 in Kildare and Meath, respectively. What stage are the councils at in achieving those targets for 2022 and 2023?
