Ms Siobhán McArdle:

Deputy Ó Broin has made a very good point. We are certainly open to it. Awareness in local authorities has really improved in recent years, especially following the appointment of the age-friendly technical advisers and the advent of Age Friendly Ireland having representatives in each local authority raising awareness of what is needed for older people's housing and trying to put that in place. These developments are contributing to that being brought forward. We are open to any suggestions of in-fill housing undertaken in the manner outlined by the Deputy. It completely chimes with our NPF objectives, so we are happy to take that point on board. I thank the Deputy.
