I have asked other local authorities about the enhanced leasing scheme. Both Waterford and Limerick City and County Councils have utilised that as a delivery mechanism; they may have a number in their pipeline. I think the last delivery in Waterford under leasing is in 2024. A decision was made to phase that out. Given the expected reduction in the private rental sector market, opportunities exist in that space to activate some of the sites that have planning permissions. Other local authorities were supportive of the reintroduction of that leasing scheme. Recently, Cork City Council and one of the Dublin local authorities that were before us last week stated so. Would Limerick and Waterford City and County Councils support the reintroduction of that scheme?
