I will finish on the issue of housing. I will reiterate that I am extremely uncomfortable with spending €300 million on HAP this year when we have no idea what standard of accommodation we are providing to people. It is bizarre. It is something the Department needs to get a grip on very fast. It is not acceptable that that amount of money is being spent on private landlords who are screwing the system.

I will move on to the issue of PPPs.
