-----bar an SSIA-type investment scheme which would take a couple of years before you had the requisite funds to invest in capital in housing. The State is already investing capital in housing to the tune of €7 billion plus. I put the question yesterday.

We need about €20 billion in terms of investment, made up of private sector and public sector. Tell me how the Deputy proposes to get private sector investment into the apartment market.

No. That is not true

It is not true.

Sorry, all existing tenants will be capped at 2%.

No-----

All existing tenants, when they stay in the tenancy, will be capped at 2%.

In terms of any new builds or new apartment builds-----

-----after March 2026, when the new legislation comes in, they will be capped-----

Please listen. The Deputy asked a question. All new apartments after March 2026 will be subject to a cap of the CPI, inflation. Then, six years beyond that, the landlord will be able to reset to market-----

Let me finish because Deputy O'Callaghan has done nothing on supply. The combination of that facility for new builds, which we do not have yet, by the way, and there are no tenants in them-----

-----and the CPI gives the basis upon which we can bring investment back into the market to get more apartments built because supply, ultimately, is the way to moderate rents.

We are not going to do it by rent freezes or by this, that or the other that the Deputy's party has been proposing for the past two to three years, which will only conspire-----

-----to reduce and suppress supply and allow rents to go up even higher.

Could the Deputy repeat those figures, please?

I thank the Deputy for raising what is a very real issue for many people in society, in terms of increased antisocial behaviour. We need both approaches. We need consistently and constantly to deal with the source and the evolution of this, including in school programmes. A lot is being done in schools actually. I visit schools a lot. I was in one recently where there was tremendous inclusivity. The school and the children themselves were working on a cultural committee involving different nationalities and so on. …

The line between community engagement and moving into the youth juvenile space is a difficult enough one to crack.

That is a fair presentation. I will talk to the Minister for justice, reflecting on what the Deputy said. There is an absence of consequences within that space before formally referring people to the juvenile justice system - which we are reluctant to do, to give young people a chance - and, on the other hand, ensuring people cannot just behave with abandon and no consequences. I take the Deputy's point but this needs to be thought through systemically. It is one thing to draw up a list of potential consequences bu…

I thank the Deputy for raising this very important issue. The Government accepts there are genuine maintenance backlogs in terms of roads across the length and breadth of the country, particularly in south Kerry and Kerry more generally. We have allocated additional money to Kerry County Council for the regular maintenance of the network. In respect of the Killarney bypass, I tend to call it the Cork-Kerry road.

It is the Cork-Kerry economic corridor. The Macroom and Baile Bhuirne bypass has been extraordinarily transformational environmentally, on public health grounds in terms of the air, on a road safety basis and also in terms of access and opening up Kerry to the economy of the wider hinterland right across the south west. Cork people are always anxious to benefit Kerry people as much as we possibly can in terms of sharing the economic fruits and so on. However, Killarney is choked; of that there is no doubt. The rura…
