It is at the end of the Department's appropriation account as a body under the aegis of the Department. Roughly, what kind of money did it lend last year? Is it €2 million or €222 million? We have heard of a fund of €70 million given by the Department for a revolving fund for the purchase of houses. Now, the Secretary General is telling me we have a Housing Finance Agency whose job it is to lend money to local authorities for housing. Please explain why we need this. We also have the Land Development Agency.
