It is too early in the year, as the Minister for Finance has said, to determine the exact figure that will help us to get there. The final point, about housing, is a matter for other Ministers but I agree that a housing assistance payment is an important step forward and I look forward to seeing it being implemented in ways that will help the lives of many people.
