It is not a relatively new scheme. It has been in development for some time. These projects are at a point of near delivery. It has been included in the Bill, which is published and is going to be debated in the Dáil. This means substantial pre-legislative work has been done within the Department.

A major part of it relates to who will manage and deliver it, what the rents will be and whether it will be managed and owned through an approved housing body or otherwise. It is not a new scheme.
