The Government has published the Housing for All update on the Government website. I met yesterday with two groups calling for one-bedroom apartments. Young professionals are trying to move out of home. The Dublin Simon Community is desperately seeking one-bedroom accommodation for rental. I want to ask the Tánaiste about the status of the planning objection legislation under the planning advisory forum chaired by the Minister of State, Deputy Peter Burke. Concerns about supply have been raised by Deputies in my constituency. Not 500 metres up the road, there are proposals for 147 units, including 51 one-bedroom apartments, 67 two-bedroom apartments and nine studios, and objections are going in left, right and centre.
