I thank Deputy Ó Broin. I want to clarify something. With regard to the housing target, it is not a cap as such, it is a target. We have seen in Housing for All where the targets have been achieved and over. Where you are setting out that target, it is not saying that it shall be 50,000 and only that.

Many things can change in an economy, such as interest, capacity and household sizes. To fixate on just one figure is probably incorrect. Would that be correct?
