Mr. John McCarthy:
When that balance was initially set, the Government decided that there were certain housing programmes that should not be self-funded and should continue to receive full Exchequer funding. A pot of self-funding had to be achieved which we applied to housing programmes as far as we possibly could but there was further self-funding in some local authorities areas that needed to be recovered. That is where roads came in.
