I have two supplementary questions. On emergency accommodation, is the Minister saying that €60 million will fund more than 333 beds with refurbishment of properties for hubs as well as the permanent beds? Obviously I am not asking for the locations of the facilities, but I want a sense of what we are getting for that €60 million.

I ask about the second part of the €60 million. Obviously the acquisitions performed very well mid-way through the year; they were 300 or 400 above the full-year target at that point. Will more of that €60 million go to acquisitions? How much of it will go on early 2019 expenditure that is required in 2018? The Minister can correct me on this if I am wrong. If there needs to be advance payments in 2018 for a project that is for delivery in 2019, does that then reduce the amount of money needed in 2019 for that project or does it have any bearing on the allocations for next year for those targets?
