I will touch on a few points regarding value for money with the Department. There was a reference in the opening statement to the fact that part of the reason for the large current expenditure was due to EU fiscal rules.
Given recent developments and unprecedented low interest rates, has the Department advised the Government to borrow to rebalance social housing policy away from current expenditure and towards capital expenditure?
