The Deputy and I raised these issues in the Dáil four or five years ago, given many people in the intervention areas already had a service with another provider and we asked would there be a take-up. We did raise these issues with Ministers at the time, and I certainly raised them with officials at meetings as to whether there would be a substantial take-up. I would have concerns at this point if it is 5% that are connected two years in. We will ask them to clarify what the business case was and if they think the 5% is good enough. I would also ask what connection level they expect by the end of this year and the target for 2024. We need some idea of where we are going with this. There is a lot of money going into it.

No. 1720 is from David Moloney, Secretary General of the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform, dated 30 January, providing information requested by the committee regarding the volumetric modular homes pilot. It is proposed to note and publish the correspondence. Is that agreed? Agreed. Deputy Catherine Murphy wanted to comment.
