I am keeping an eye on the clock. This might be, as Fr. Jack would describe, an ecumenical matter. I will ask about the conversations that are happening around possibly expanding the remit and role of Údarás na Gaeltachta, particularly in the development of affordable community housing and taking a partnership stake in the development of that. Údarás na Gaeltachta owns a lot of land, particularly within our Gaeltacht communities. Does the Department have a view on allowing it the flexibility to engage in that kind of change in its remit and role?
