Mr. Graham Doyle:
I have some detailed numbers, which I will not go into here, but it can be seen that the social housing need in 2016 was to the order of 5,500. That has come down. I have the June 2019 number before me and, at that time, it had reduced to just under 3,400. There is a good amount of built housing in the pipeline. I am very happy to send these statistics on if the Deputy would find that helpful.
