Mr. Jim O'Keeffe:
I will take that question. Absolutely. We have had very significant engagement with the Housing Agency as a result of the broader initiatives. The Deputy referred to this morning's announcement about 200 houses. We are clearly a significant part of that. We have made available the full listing of the 500 properties to the Housing Agency and we are working actively to make sure we see the process come through with the agency. We share the Deputy’s concerns in that regard. We have had much engagement with the Department. In the short and medium term we will make up a considerable percentage of the flow of houses into social housing.
