As for the number of houses, there are 435 in Carlow and 686 in Kilkenny.

There is a lot of information in that document which I am putting out there to inform people. Local authorities can acquire private property and have done so under a range of other measures.

I want to ensure that I get to a number of the questions. I am going to hop between questions because there is overlap. Deputy Quinlivan asked about the capital spend and I have quoted the €4 billion, which is the largest amount ever allocated for social housing from a multi-annual perspective.
