Yes. I recognise that Kildare has its demands and it is recognised by Government that the greater Dublin area, the commuter areas and other large urban areas in the country have a far greater demand on social housing provision. That is why there is a medium to long-term strategy, as well as a short-term one, where a national framework for housing supply is being established and will be put on a statutory footing. This is the strategy towards which the Government will be working to ensure provision is provided where demand is greatest and priorities will be listed in that format.
