When one looks at the total amount that goes into the subhead and when one takes into account the local infrastructure housing activation fund, LIHAF, and local property tax, LPT, as well, this additional amount of €2 million is more like somewhere between 20% and 25% of total spend. Accordingly, it is not as much as a one third increase.

One interesting point is that capital expenditure has been ahead this year. In September, the figures looked as if we were probably three times ahead of profile than we were in 2017. This tells us we are doing more, which is good.
