Further to that, before I hand over to Deputy Higgins, there is no constraint on the use of the repair and lease scheme by the approved housing bodies. It has been used to great success in Waterford in providing those exact one- and two-bedroom properties that we are talking about here today. They have a role in removing people from homeless or emergency accommodation and in providing them with their own-front-door accommodation. Has Focus Ireland utilised that? Is there a reason why it is not being utilised further? I believe that the Peter McVerry Trust is using it to some extent. What is Focus Ireland’s use of it, or view on that?
