Ms Patricia King:

This is not my home territory. However, in terms of keeping the record straight, I might point out to Deputy Bailey that the point I made is that, under the heading of local authority build: there were 780 houses built in 2017 but there were none in Wicklow under that heading; in 2016, there were 247 built but there were none in Wicklow under that heading; and in 2015 there were 75 social houses built throughout the country and there were none in Wicklow under that heading. That is the record straight, if I may say so.

I understand that the committee is stuck for time, and my answer on VAT is precisely the answer I gave to Deputy Lisa Chambers, so unless want to take up the time to repeat it-----
