I thank the Minister of State for his comprehensive reply. As he outlined, the schemes have been hugely successful. I compliment all the parties in government on bringing them forward. I thank the Minister of State for introducing the €5,000 grant for the conservation of farmhouses. It is very welcome. As he said, such restoration projects can be quite complex.

I am heartened that the Minister has undertaken a review of some of the schemes. I look forward to some news in that regard. The help-to-buy scheme comes under the auspices of the Minister for Finance. I have made contact with him about it. I am glad the Government is very much cognisant of the need to keep the schemes under constant review. I look forward to some positive developments in the not too distant future.
