The €800-per-month scheme for pledged accommodation for Ukrainian refugees has been quite successful. I know many families who have been housed as a result of the scheme. We can learn from what has happened with it. Will the Government consider expanding the scheme to include other cohorts of people in need of housing, including, for example, those who are currently classified as homeless? Will it also consider reviewing the rates paid under the scheme as an incentive to try to bring units, particularly those on the short-term rental market, into use as long-term accommodation? This could be done relatively quickly and could supply many new units for people desperately in need of housing.
