I will answer the question if I am allowed to do so. We are working in a spirit of co-operation.

It is the largest amount announced in respect of a multi-annual plan for social housing. When the country was bursting at the seams with money, of course there were larger individual amounts every year. However, the spending at that time was not multi-annual in nature or planned over a period. That is simple fact and it is what I have always said. The figures are all there in respect of capital planning if the Deputy wants me to produce them. In 2016 €2.9 billion is committed under the capital plan. The figures are all publicly available. I will send them on to the Deputy rather than taking up more time here.

If Deputy Quinlivan has specific issues concerning Limerick, I would be glad-----
