I have one supplementary question. The rent-to-buy scheme was not mentioned, but I know of areas that are unaffordable for first-time buyers or people who are caught in that they are over the social housing threshold but cannot get mortgage approval. I know, and Senator Boyhan will know, how successful the rent-to-buy scheme we had in Dún Laoghaire was a number of years ago and I know we are considering it again because it was extremely successful. What is the rate of refusal on properties?
