I thank the Minister of State for his reply. I respectfully suggest that County Kildare is a classic example of where the shortage of houses is very severe and is becoming more severe on a daily basis. If the Minister of State and his Department are willing to engage with the local authority staff in Kildare, I have no doubt they will identify the full extent of the problem and the likely development of the problem over the next few years. Will it be possible to engage with them on that basis and also with other local authority areas that are similarly affected?
