It is probably right to ask the Accounting Officer to send us a note on all of these different organisations and capital loan schemes in the context of the amounts outstanding, capital advance leasing facilities and so on. Will Mr. John McCarthy provide an indication of the throughput, the value of money and where the debt rests? Is it with the Housing Finance Agency? I ask for a pen picture because we have the Housing Finance Agency, the Housing Agency and a new agency coming along, all of which are in the same corner. If we have the Housing Finance Agency, why was it necessary to arrange a €70 million revolving fund for the Housing Agency for the purpose of housing? Was the Housing Finance Agency not able to do it?
