I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Dillon, and wish him well in his role. I acknowledge the courtesy, time and effort given to us by the Minister of State, Deputy O'Donnell, while he was in the role. Deputy Dillon has big shoes to fill.

Is the Minister confident that all the key housing indicators are continuing on a positive trajectory? Will he refer specifically to the continuing challenges in rural Ireland?
