I thought the Chairman's suggestion was very interesting and we have had a look at it. The Department of Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government is progressing it in terms of circumstances in which a fund could be put together to purchase houses whose owners had impaired mortgages and in effect to rent them back to them. I think it is a very good suggestion. It is being actively explored. I have another piece of information on the matter.
