Does Dr. Sweeney have any input to funding models? He will tell me he does not set policy but it would seem very clear from what he has presented so far that all of the expenditure under these schemes is yielding nothing in return, including the fact we do not have homes to house people. What I mean is that a vast amount of money is being spent with no return. Would we not be better with a policy that would see homes built in some shape or form? Social housing is now an asset to the Government, as opposed to something that just funds private landlords.
