I hear what the Minister of State is saying but there is still a sense of segregation within developments and there is the matter of welfare. I will come back to the Minister of State.

During the negotiations to form the Government, all parties agreed to the Green Party's policy to legislate for tenancies of indefinite duration. This was in response not only to Covid-19 but the changing nature of the Irish rental market. There is now a need for the Government to support renters by improving housing standards, security and affordability of renting in the State. Will the Minister of State outline the status of the proposed legislation agreed in the context of the programme for Government. When will the Bill outlining support for tenancies of indefinite duration come before the House?
