There has almost been a doubling in the three years to which Ms Tallon referred. The figures are €98,000 versus €56,000. We are trending, as any Deputy or councillor is aware, towards the RAS scheme and social leasing schemes. The Department invested an additional €20 million compared to last year in this particular area. How successful is the Department with regard to the numbers? Are more people being housed through the schemes? Could the Secretary General give me an idea of how effective the Department has been with regard to outcomes for people?
