I thank the Minister for his briefing. I have short questions relative to the LDA and cost rental.

Representatives of the LDA spoke to us, I think, this year, with regard to the agency's targets being expanded for various reasons, and good reasons. Will the Minister expand on those targets and where the targets are now from where they were? The talk in the programme for Government was 40,000 units. The LDA has talked about going well over 60,000 and beyond that if it can. That is what it would like to do.

Connected to that is cost rental. The LDA has talked about 75% of the units it will be building being cost rental. The Minister mentioned earlier that we have exceeded this year's targets for cost rental. Does he have any idea if that trajectory will continue? Will we continue to exceed those targets going forward in the pipeline? Does the Minister have any idea where we are going with that?
