Okay. That is something I am aware of in the context of my county. I do not wish to delay the witness here but I would like to re-engage with Mr. McCarthy on the matter.

With regard to the cost of the refurbishment, there is a breakdown of 5,714 homes in 2016, and 2,300 of the homes are refurbishments, which is a very significant number. These are homes that were already in our existing stock. It is a huge number. What was the total cost of the 2,300 refurbishments and what is the average cost, generally, at the moment to refurbish voids and so on? I am aware that this dominates council budgets.
