I propose to take Questions Nos. 609 and 624 together.
Following the first phase of my review of Rebuilding Ireland and with the provision made under Budget 2018 for social housing delivery, there is now a greater emphasis on direct build activity by local authorities and Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs). The following table sets out the targets in respect of social housing under the main programme areas for each year of Rebuilding Ireland.
