It is good to see the Minister, Deputy O'Brien, here this morning and firing on all cylinders. As a brief aside, 95 homes have been purchased by South Dublin County Council under the tenant in situ scheme, with 133 planned, and I know the Minister would probably like to comment on that. I thank the Ceann Comhairle for allowing me away with this.

The previous Government launched the north inner city initiative and while not perfect, it has met with a lot of success. The Minister will have heard me at parliamentary party level over the years looking for a similar initiative for areas that have similar challenges. The term that is now being used is intergenerational trauma. I wonder what plans has the Government to really seriously look at replicating that initiative in areas like those in my own constituency, such as parts of west Tallaght, Killinarden and Jobstown. There are also other areas like Darndale, Ballymun, etc. Is the Minister in a position to make a comment on that?

I thank Deputy Lahart for his question. On the purchase for the tenant in situ scheme, it is going extremely well. I am glad to hear the progress that is being made in south Dublin. We will exceed the baseline target of 1,500 that we have set this year. We have between 800 and 900 already concluded, and about another 1,500 going through the conveyancing process, which is way above and beyond what we thought. It is a great way of securing tenancies and additional public homes for people.

The north inner city initiative has been successful because it got community buy-in and cross-departmental support. Within my own Department, there are areas like the urban regeneration development fund, on which we have engaged extensively with South Dublin County Council, which covers part of the Deputy's own Dáil constituency. Significant funding has been given through that fund, and that has been really good. We need to look at areas where there is high deprivation. That is why we have changed the local property tax baseline as well, to take into account the funding we are giving to local authorities based on geographic size and on deprivation in certain areas, and to target and focus the resources we have on areas that need more assistance.

Annagh Banks is a 14-unit development on the Inch-Dingle road out of Castlemaine. Anyone familiar with my part of the country would see it on the right-hand side as they are leaving Castlemaine. It has been unfinished for well over a decade. These houses would take very little work to get them over the line and become homes for people. Kerry County Council is preparing a turnkey application at the moment. My parliamentary assistant, Tommy Griffin, has engaged for a very long time with the owner of these properties to try to bring this project as a proposal to the Minister's Department. Will the Minister engage with the local authority? The process seems quite onerous. These houses really should be ready to go. If they are built, there is a little bit of work to be done but in the overall scheme of things, not a huge amount of work to be done. The process itself seems to be very onerous and I ask the Minister to look at this case as an example of how that process could be streamlined to make it easier to get such properties turned around and ready as homes for people.

If it is 14 homes, and we have a single-stage approval process that more local authorities are using now, the process is not that onerous. I have not seen that proposal yet. I would be happy to. There are some other estates that we have seen across the country. There is one in Galway we were looking at recently that is partially built or nearly complete, and which we will take in as a turnkey project. As I said earlier on in discussions, as a Government we delivered more new social homes last year than we have done in 50 years. On these type of developments, where they are nearly built, of course I would be very positively disposed to them. If Deputy Griffin could deal with me directly on it, we can see where the application is.
