This is something that will have to be looked at. As we increase the delivery of cost-rental housing, we must ensure that sufficient community leisure facilities are provided within those schemes.
Turning to Uisce Éireann's capital allocation, the 2024 Estimate was €1.03 billion, while that for 2025 is just under €1 billion. I estimate there is roughly a 4% fall. I am surprised at this, given Uisce Éireann's statements about the need for increased funding in terms of critical housing infrastructure. The Minister might comment on this aspect.
