Perhaps Ms Murphy could send those figures on to us. The Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government last appeared before the committee in the autumn. It only collects statistics every three month, and the results might not be released for a couple of months. We might not know how many houses were built five months ago. I am putting the same question to Ms Murphy, and I hope she can send on some information on the builds, acquisition or revolving funds, as she described it. We would appreciate a breakdown of what was achieved in 2018 and the targets for 2019.

I thank our witnesses for attending. Our next public meeting will be on Thursday, 28 February, when the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government will be before us. We will look at the local government fund, the Comptroller and Auditor General's report from 2017 and the central funding of local authorities. We will be joined on the day by officials from the Department and representatives from the County and City Management Association to discuss public housing.
