Mr. John McCarthy:

To go back to what I said earlier, the level of ambition in Rebuilding Ireland flows fundamentally from the special Oireachtas committee report. That is the level of ambition. While the Deputy is talking about the number that have been added to the list, others will have come off the list as well. The reason I point to the 1,117 figure, which is as of June 2018, is that it is a point in time figure and the 687 out to 2021 is designed to contribute to dealing with that need, along with the housing assistance payment.
