We note the last point the Deputy has made. If he looks at the funding for this particular programme, in 2023, €76.9 million was provided. There were 2,445, which was the target. Next year, the target is 3,500 social homes. We have an increased allocation in that area. We are looking at this as a programme we want to work. It is a programme we are committed to, and we are looking at the target of 36,500. It does not go without saying that by 2030, we are looking to have 70% of social housing stock with a BER rating of A or B. Our Department is currently working with the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications on looking at the transposition of that draft energy performance building directive from the EU with regard to policies around the deployment of suitable solar energy installations on all buildings, including social housing stock.
