It is Bike Week. Can we expand the bike-to-work scheme to people who are not PAYE workers, to the self-employed, the unemployed, pensioners and students? A shift to a subsidy- or voucher-based scheme would bring in many people who currently are not eligible for it and it would be a very good thing to announce during Bike Week.

The programme for Government commits to maintaining the right of a social housing tenant to purchase his or her home. However, purchase of a Part V local authority home is not permitted under the tenant incremental purchase scheme, which came into operation on 1 January 2016 to allow tenants to buy their homes. Where tenancies predate the regulations, tenants were never informed they would never be able to purchase their homes. I ask that the current review taking place takes this particular cohort of individuals into account.

We still have ongoing challenges in the private forestry sector. The target for licences for private landowners was reached in only one month out of the past 11. The Social Economic Environmental Forestry Association of Ireland has highlighted the fact there is a queue of 400 licences, none of which has been approved in the past five weeks. I ask the Taoiseach to take urgent action because this is very unfair on the private forestry sector. We need urgent action. What actions will he take to improve this situation?

Deputy Costello's idea is excellent. I will talk to the Ministers with the purse strings but some innovation would be a good idea. We should expand that scheme, where possible.

On the matter raised by Deputy Naughten, I will talk to the Minister in respect of the review. We are anxious and are now adding to the additional social housing stock at a considerable scale to build up a sufficiency of stock so we will have enough into the future to make sure we do not have the emergency situation we had some years ago, where people were not in a position to access emergency accommodation.

Forestry licensing in 2021 was 56% higher than 2020, with 4,000 licences issued compared to 2,592 in 2020. That said, we want to get take-up. The allocation for forestry this year is approximately €100 million. We want to make sure as many trees as possible are planted. That is key. On commercial forestry, the availability of a significant volume of timber, approximately 8.5 million cu. m, stabilised supply to the processing sector in 2021. That was the highest volume ever issued in a single year but there is still work to be done. I will not be happy until I see much greater levels of plantation and afforestation.
