The concept of affordable housing for elderly people was mentioned. Given we know many elderly people would not qualify for it, especially in terms of renting, has this aspect been explored and the possibility of delivering it examined?
On student accommodation, and while I understand it is under the remit of a different Department, does the Minister have any comment on providing affordable housing for students?
