Brendan Griffin (Kerry, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

As the Taoiseach and Minister may know, I am a long-time advocate of action on dereliction in order to provide more homes for people. Therefore, I welcome the introduction of Croí Cónaithe, the expansion of the repair and lease scheme and the increase in the money available for it. Will the Minister provide an update to the House on the extension of Croí Cónaithe to single, one-off, rural cottages, farm buildings and other derelict buildings? Will he consider an expansion of the repair and lease scheme to cover affordable private rent?
