There is a group that will not get that targeted support unless we introduce something like the lines of what's on the forecourts.

But in relation to hauliers, in relation to contractors, in relation to farmers, we have...

provided those interventions now so it doesn't lead to an inflationary piece later in the year on our shelves.

And also in relation to supply, we've seen reports from the UK in recent weeks where they're now talking about potential supply shortages in the end of the year.

So, you know, we need to be fair in relation to where we're coming from here.

And we do have a growing economy which allows us

to express ourselves that little bit further in relation to expend, while at the same time taking a prudent approach so that we can look at the likes of future funds for our ageing demographics and for investment in infrastructure, which we are very ambitious about.

And if you want to bring the show on the road and come to Offaly and see what we've done in relation

Please take it up.

We have made serious progress in relation to renewable energy, solar and battery, and we want to continue on that journey, but we can't take it for granted.

And I think that's where it needs to be benefit for communities as well as that electrification piece and renewable energy.

I mean, it's really... Look, I think, David, to be fair, for that sort of description for what is another initiative in relation to increasing housing supply, it does not do justice as to what exactly this is supposed to do.

There is a whole raft of measures that have been introduced.

We're building and completing 100 houses a day now in the country.
