Just under 10,000 people have been able to purchase their first home through the help-to-buy scheme, which is fantastic. Other things are also happening, as I referenced in my first reply.

On the regulations for priority of access to affordable homes or schemes, it is unfair to suggest the fact that the regulations have not been finalised is delaying anything because we already have awarded €43 million in funding for the first round of sites. We have finalised the second round of sites and we are doing another call now. We have also received the economic assessments. I would like to give the Dáil the current proposed regulations in respect of the order of priority. I seek input from Members as to whether it is the appropriate order of priority for such a regulatory scheme.

I am not sure how the time works when two priority questions are grouped together.
