Alan Farrell (Dublin Fingal, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Perhaps the Secretary General can provide me with information on the capital assistance schemes that have been specifically referenced in subhead A.4. I do not mean right now. I would like a breakdown of the figures and the Secretary General can supply that information to the Clerk of the Committee in writing. This is the first opportunity that the Committee of Public Accounts has had to assess the capacity of the Department and its agencies to deliver on housing because this matter was really not applicable in 2015 to the same extent. I would like to know the details. Such information would help all of the Members of the Oireachtas to determine the capacity of the Department, the local authorities and, in this particular instance, the voluntary and co-operative housing sector.

I wish to raise another matter.
