I have a question on the capital programme. Between 2011 and 2015 there was a significant budgetary allocation for prefab replacement that ultimately proved to be very successful because there was a definitive budget and a significant momentum behind the programme in the building unit. Does the Department intend to continue with the programme until we reach 100% replacement? As far as I can recall, we are at approximately 38% or 39% in terms of prefab replacement nationally. These are buildings that simply are not economically viable when one assesses what they cost to rent and a number of them are in very poor condition and have far outlived their useful life. Is there still a definitive budgetary allocation for prefab replacement? Will the momentum behind the scheme continue?
