Mr. Graham Doyle:

In terms of the sources of finance, the discussions are had, particularly within the Departments of Finance and Public Expenditure and Reform, each year when it comes to agreeing multi-annual capital envelopes or under something like the NDP, which is being reviewed currently. As was the case with my previous Department, we go in as a Department and argue our capital envelopes. The question of where the capital comes from is more for the other Departments that I mentioned. While we do feed into those debates and ask questions, it is a matter for those Departments. However, we will continue to argue as strongly as we can - and we are doing so at the moment in the context of the NDP review - for as much capital funding as we can get, that the system can actually support and on which it can deliver houses.
