I will get Deputy Connolly more detail on this as I do not have the full supplementary reply. In 2022, the build target for Galway city was 305 and for Galway county the build target was 230. In 2023, the build target for the city was 219 and for Galway county it was 351. In 2020, the build target was 224 for Galway city and for Galway county the build target was 358. I do not have to hand the delivery target or what has been delivered against the target. I can certainly get that for Deputy Connolly.

There is strong delivery in County Galway. Two weeks ago, I was very pleased to sign off on the first affordable rental scheme in the south Connemara Gaeltacht, in Barna. There is also very strong delivery through the Croí Cónaithe grant scheme and with regard to social housing. There are a couple of projects with regard to affordable housing in Merlin that I have visited. They are not built yet and I would like to see them built. They should be built. I am frustrated with that. The affordable housing fund is there for local authorities to access. It is there and we have given approvals. I do not have the delivery information to hand. I will get it to Deputy Connolly tomorrow. It is not in the brief for the questions. I do not want to give an answer that is not correct. I will get the information to Deputy Connolly tomorrow.
