Thanks Cathaoirleach and thanks to all our guests. I welcome this discussion. Before becoming a TD, I was a long-term councillor and affordable housing was always something I strongly advocated for, so I welcome the topic being discussed in isolation here today.

I will start with the Department. Mention was made of overall policy and targets. That is critical. The 14,500 affordable supports outlined include the first homes scheme, vacant property grant and so on. Does the Department have a figure for affordable purchase within that 14,500 from the start of Housing for All to now?
