It would be really helpful for the committee to receive that information in whatever format. The committee brought in officials from 12 or 14 local authorities over the past year to report on progress under Housing For All. That could be an exercise for this committee to engage in, to give them a little bit of time. I know that these initiatives take time to settle. The legislation for the affordable housing scheme has been in place for just over a year. These things do take time to settle and build. It would be a worthwhile exercise for the committee to consider that, and to bring in the local authorities and let them present to us on the work they are doing on those activation streams.

On the Croí Cónaithe towns and villages scheme, initially it was a towns and villages scheme for regeneration within town centres. It was then expanded to encompass the whole country, outside settlement boundaries or rural areas. Is there a breakdown on how that scheme is performing against its original objective for towns and villages, as opposed to country wide? Are there figures on that?
