I wish to pursue that issue, if I may. Off-balance sheet is one aspect of it, but obviously being able to access European funds is an important aspect from the viewpoint of investment in public housing. Given the huge demand for public housing and the fact that money has not been available for that in recent years, I wonder why the NTMA would not have pursued that as a possibility. If European funds are available, why would we not try to leverage those for a public housing programme?
