There is no request in front of me, but that is okay. Away you go, Deputy Murphy.

We are nearly out of time. I will allow Deputy O'Reilly to ask the next question, with one response from the Minister.

Will the Government consider amending the incremental tenant purchase scheme 2016 to allow houses acquired under Part V of the Planning and Development Act 2000 to be made eligible for purchase under this scheme? I want to highlight today the unfairness for some tenants with the ongoing injustice within our local authority housing system. The incremental tenant purchase scheme was launched to give long-term social housing tenants a fair path towards owning their own home. It builds generational wealth, it stabilise…

I thank the Tánaiste for his response. As I said, this affects a number of families around the country. The people who have come to my office only want to have security in the knowledge that they can own their own home. A number did get a chance before 2016 but their financial circumstances at the time did not allow them to take up that offer to secure a home loan, so they had to decline it. After making a home in these houses, working hard, saving their money and building a track record in savings, some people can…

Deputy Farrell to respond.

Thank you, Minister.

I welcome the students and teachers from Tonragee National School all the way from Achill in County Mayo. We hope they enjoy their day in the Dáil. They are here with the Minister of State, Deputy Alan Dillon.

We will now go back to Parliamentary Question No. 86 from Deputy Ó Muirí.

"This Budget builds up our resilience and will help us to adapt at a time of historic challenge for our economy." That was what the then Minister for Finance, Pascal Donohoe, told the House last October. That budget still raised day-to-day spending in 2026 by over 6%. That is lower than the 8% to 9% increase in the past few years, with a slower increase intended to protect the foreign investment-focused economy from US trade policies. Last year's budget, with its business and job focus, was needed. What we have hea…

Thank you, Deputy. The Minister of State has two minutes to respond.

You are way over time, Deputy. I am sorry. The Minister of State has two minutes.

As we have no other Members present for the debate, I call the Minister of State to make his closing remarks. He has ten minutes. I will then give Deputy Byrne ten minutes for her final remarks.

I thank the Deputy.

Thank you, Deputy.

Thank you, Minister.

Deputies have asked to switch Question Nos. 11 and 12 around to allow for attendance at committees. We take Question No. 12 next.

With the permission of the House, I intend to go back to Question No. 16. This is the last question of the morning. Is that agreed? Agreed.

We have gone well over time. Deputy Burke can have 30 seconds.

Following the announcement in February of the annual roads allocation, will the Tánaiste give an update on any further allocations for Monaghan, Cavan and all of the other counties? This year's allocations for local and secondary roads will not go as far because they will be eaten up by price increases in supplies and labour year on year. With the excessive wet weather this winter and a number of storms, the latest being Goretti in February, local and secondary roads in counties Monaghan and Cavan are in a deplorab…

Thank you, Minister. I call Deputy Farrell.
