I thank Mr. Kelly for his response. A number of rapid-build homes projects were delivered by the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth and the OPW. This is perhaps a question for Mr. Jordan in terms of the Housing Agency's remit on the utilisation of modern methods of construction, MMC, technology. What work is the agency doing in this area with the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage to deliver at scale in this area? It is the way forward. Many people to whom I have spoken feel that it is being underutilised as a measure within the Government's policy and its armoury to deliver at scale. How much of a budget is being allocated to the delivery of rapid-build homes and what work is being done in the background to scale it up?
