I thank the Deputy for both those questions.

The Deputy is referring to the Rebuilding Ireland home loan scheme. More applications to the Housing Agency for this scheme have been successful than unsuccessful. More than 1,000 loans have gone through the Housing Agency. The delay is happening at the credit committees at local government level.

During the budget process, I reviewed the Rebuilding Ireland home loan scheme. There are proposed reforms and I am in conversation with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform as to how we progress those reforms to ensure the loan can work for more people and more quickly.

The review of the tenant purchase scheme is ongoing and will be completed shortly. I should be in a position to make an announcement on it in January.
