We will come back to it. I have put that in the public arena just to get the point across.

The next matter I want to ask about is the figures we were given regarding the breakdown of the €1.4 billion in the housing budget last year, which is fine. Some €800 million of relates to build, acquire or lease. I will come back to the breakdown of that part. A further €296 million was spent on RAS or HAP, €109 million on homelessness and €201 million on pyrite resolution, house grants, agencies, Traveller accommodation and, probably, repairs for the elderly and people with disabilities. We understand all that. We are focusing on the build aspect. In that context, €802 million was the figure for build, acquire and lease. Do the officials have a breakdown of that amount in the context of the amounts spent on build, acquire and lease? Is it readily to hand?
