I just wanted to draw the matter to the Secretary General's attention. It was caused by a failure to provide enough council housing over the years. Does the Department monitor the number of rental properties available? We may get to a stage where there is an insufficient number of rental properties available for those on the housing list and there is not enough council housing being built. I am concerned about both matters, even though I know that the Government would like to invest more in this area.
