I thank the Minister of State for his remarks.

I want to briefly address the housing need and demand assessment. I downloaded all those documents that have been supplied by the Department. It is a fantastic tool and it will give us an accurate assessment. Having a tracking system that brings us back to how is that being adhered to and how is that being rolled out means we will not have a proliferation of the wrong types of development or developments that do not respond to the community need.

It is also a game changer in making sure that we have a review and we have accountability that maps the need in local areas. It is great tool. I appreciate the Minister of State's comments on it.
