Mr. Graham Doyle:
I cannot see how we would reach €1 billion in rent subsidies. With regard to how we categorise our expenditure across that area, expenditure on the housing assistance payment, HAP, and rental accommodation scheme, RAS, amounted to €721 million in 2021. We also use other forms of leasing, including the types Deputy Catherine Murphy referred to. In 2021, expenditure on these was in the order of €57 million. Beyond that-----
