I thank the Minister for that reply. He mentioned the rents for cost rental and it is a very attractive prospect for many people. For instance, I have been contacted by a number of individuals who are at the higher end of the social housing threshold. They are eligible for social housing support but they are really keen on the cost-rental model. Can flexibility be given to the local authorities to try to ensure those individuals can avail of cost-rental housing? As the Minister said, 18 months ago the scheme did not exist. People are now finding out about it, are very interested and want to avail of it. Can he outline the prospects for Dublin, in particular, but also some information in respect of the rents, which he mentioned earlier on? The cost-rental rents are very attractive.
