Paul McAuliffe: It is great to have the Minister and Minister of State with us to discuss the realities of Housing for All. When we first saw it, we saw a plan. We also saw a multi-annual budget, which is crucial to the delivery of many of these housing solutions. When Housing for All is broken down programme by programme, with a funding stream assigned to each, phrases like "Croí Cónaithe",...

Paul McAuliffe: The start of that will be programmes like the affordable housing fund, to which almost €60 million has been allocated. When can local authorities start drawing down that funding? There are already some plans in place for various sites. Is the architecture in place for local authorities and AHBs to start benefiting from the fund?

We could not deliver mixed-income housing with that legislation....

Paul McAuliffe: I ask the Minister to expand on the issue of electoral reform and spending on that. The citizens' assembly on Dublin is very welcome. Does the cost of that come from the Department's budget or the budget of the Department of the Taoiseach? I inquire also about the establishment of the electoral commission. There is a lot in that.

Paul McAuliffe: I thank the Taoiseach for the commitment he has shown in dealing with some of the difficult issues in the community of Ballymun that arose further to the recommendations from the Ballymun - A Brighter Future report.
