Tá brón orm. Sinn Féin said it would abolish it. I remember one throwaway remark its party spokesperson made one day. He said it was not enough. I asked him what would be enough and whether €50,000 or €70,000 would be enough for a vacant home grant. I take it that, if someone comes into Deputy Gould's constituency office in Cork city and says that he or she would love to buy a building down the road and get a grant, he does not advise them on how to get a Croí Cónaithe grant and that, if a first-time buyer comes in and asks him if he knows anything about that first home scheme, through which 1,400 people have already bought their own homes, Deputy Gould does not advise him or her about that.
