It goes back to the local authority affordable schemes. Unless we get all local authorities delivering at scale and setting realistic targets, we absolutely will never reach more than 5,500 affordable homes. That is the message I feel is coming loud and clear from Mr. Doyle.

I move on to the defective concrete blocks scheme. A total of €40 million was allocated for the scheme in 2022, but only €9 million was paid out due to delays in approval. What challenges have led to such delays in approvals and completions of work?
