We are moving on. There is very little time left.

All of us today have raised the issue of housing and the lack of supply. What is the update on the module building the Government is looking at? I heard the Taoiseach speak about HAP today. As the Taoiseach knows, if you qualify to go on the local authority housing list, you get HAP. I checked daft.ie in Carlow recently. Five properties are available. By the way, it is €1,200 to rent. The biggest issue is between rural towns and cities. There is a discretion in the local authorities and in Carlow and other rural towns it is 20%. In Dublin or any of the other cities, it is 50%. That is unfair and not right. I ask that all local authorities get the 50% discretion.

I thank the Deputy. The key issue with housing is supply. We simply need to get more houses built more quickly. That is key to dealing with the housing crisis. Regarding HAP, there are different rates across the country. They are not all uniform and the cities have much higher levels of rent, unfortunately, which have necessitated more flexibility around HAP payments. I will talk to the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage on the issues the Deputy raised.
