And I want to see a far greater amount of land being made available.

And that's certainly a conversation that I'm having with the local authority in Limerick.

It's about supply.

Yeah, but a lot of what's available here, I'm just looking on daft.ie, a lot of what's...

Well, I've just acknowledged that and Limerick City needs to get up the supply.

We need to get ourselves into a position where there is more supply of residential housing being made available for people to purchase also.

It's not always just about the rental sector, it's about people.

and couples being able to purchase their starter homes.

This is all about supply, and government is continually minded day-to-day, working day-to-day to ensure that everything we can do will help promote supply to try and remove the barriers that are out there in relation to supply.

And as I said, the whole change in our public policy in relation to the rental sector, yes, it's a big change, and there is...

churn within the market in terms of people getting out of the marketplace, landlords getting out of the marketplace, but equally landlords are getting into the marketplace.

And I think that's a positive underlying trend.

Well, I explain it by virtue of the fact that the people of Adair and West Limerick and the wider county Limerick area have been waiting for a bypass of Adair for about 40 years.

The current bypass, which is under construction, is part of a larger road scheme, which is the Limerick to Fines motorway.

It's a new road which has been constructed from Limerick City, which will bypass Adair and link the port of Fines to the motorway network.

And that's being financed by money from the European Commission because the Port of Fines is our second largest port and there's a fund of money there to link our major ports to the motorway network.

Yeah, so just to give you context, that road scheme that I've just described encompasses an Adair bypass.

And it's the fourth version of an Adair bypass, which finally got over the line over a 40-year period.

So this road is a long time, this bypass is a long time in gestation and finally it's being constructed.

So you're right to say that it has been expedited by virtue of the Ryder Cup.
