I thank the Deputy for his good wishes.

The Government definitely has an open mind on this. There are potentially lessons that can be learned from some of the responses we have put in place to assist people in the humanitarian situations arising in Ukraine and elsewhere in the world. I see the excellent use of modular or rapid-build housing in many places such as Backweston and Mahon in County Cork. I raised the use of modern methods of construction as an item at a meeting on housing yesterday. We certainly have an open mind in relation to it.
