In support of the Deputy and the theme he is developing, is it possible to put together a bundle of opportunities that might be availed of by various families who are finding it difficult to get into the housing market? For instance, the first response in respect of the tenant in-situ scheme seems to be refusal. That creates a delay and does not solve the housing problem for the individual concerned. There is also Croí Cónaithe. All are good schemes, but only if they are applied and put into operation. I strongly support the previous speaker and the variations he suggested. The time has come to ensure that a bundle of options becomes available and not just one that is dismissed. There is a need for encouragement there.
