I am seeking answers and clarification. Not one cent of credit union money has been invested in social housing. As the Minister of State said, this was proposed in Rebuilding Ireland and the programme for Government. It was also mentioned in the confidence and supply document and I want it delivered. Most Members want a new stream of funding that will help to build the Minister's social homes and ramp that up. We need clarification. That is why I wrote to the Minister in the new year, asking a series of questions. To be helpful with this, and not to try to get the Minister of State excited again, will he meet representatives of the credit union sector and the Irish League of Credit Unions to clarify where he sees this process going? We all want to see this delivered. I want this model of funding for social homes to be delivered. Fianna Fáil wants it delivered but there are many unanswered questions, which require clarification.
