Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

I was not asking about the overhang in the housing market, which is another's day work that developers are well able to look after. Thousands of people on housing lists in Dublin are awaiting the rental accommodation scheme, the social and affordable scheme and so on despite the existence of the 46,000 houses in question owned by developers, individuals or whoever. Surely, there is an opportunity to consider creatively how to match them up. People in Dublin city cannot avail of the rental accommodation scheme, which was an interesting initiative.
