I think questions have to be asked of Deloitte. If the local authorities have been given extra staff and four councils are coming in with not a house built by the local authority last year, it raises serious questions. We will have the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage back in again in a few weeks' time, and the reason I flagged this is that we should raise it with the Department again at that meeting to suss out what is happening with these acquisitions.

Moving on, No. R2207 B is from RTÉ, dated 31 October. It provides further information requested by the committee during the meeting of 12 October. It consists of responses to 18 requests from the committee. It is proposed to note and publish this item of correspondence.

I have flagged this item. If any members wish to come in on it, they will see the correspondence. It is No. R2211 B. Basically, RTÉ is reverting to us to say there are some suggestions that it suppressed information and did not make it available.
