Regarding my earlier question on what the €350,000 was for, the Minister said it might relate to an assessment of the housing market and of why house prices are increasing, or of other housing matters connected to Housing for All. If the sum pertains to salaries, it means the Housing for All portion will be to directly employ individuals within the Department of Finance. Could the Minister explain how many individuals within the Department the salary figure will cover? Will the overall complement of whole-time equivalents within the Department of Finance be increased if the money is allocated for salaries?
