My understanding is that the entities in question must be enterprises. Deputy Higgins might be in the space if he is talking about affordable housing programmes that are enterprising and where a profit is being made to some extent, albeit for a social gain, and to be reinvested. If a capital investment by the State is involved, which goes onto the State asset book as a capital investment, that is outside the scope of the provision. If the Minister of State could clarify the matter it would assist us in getting through the section.
