I will believe it when I see it. For the sake of those who are waiting, I hope it will be dealt with. It is shocking that it is at this stage, especially given where we are in our housing crisis. I do not need to remind the Minister of State of the thousands of people who are homeless.

I wish to touch on student accommodation, which the Minister of State mentioned. One of the key barriers for students is accommodation issues. We have heard from students who have to travel every day over and back for hours on end. We have seen colleges look at the drop-out rates of students. I was surprised there was not a mention of student accommodation by the Ministers on budget day. I think it came as a surprise to many. I am aware that millions of euro were announced later and I am interested in the detail of that. Even when I contacted some of the colleges, they were not aware of the detail until that morning. Can the Minister of State delve deeper into that for my own knowledge?
