It comes from a different Department. I refer to the estimated outturns of €585 million for HAP and €133 million for RAS. I will assume rent supplement will remain static in the context of the upward trajectory we have seen, giving a figure of €123 million. The amount for emergency accommodation is €194 million. If we also take into account the figures Mr. Doyle cannot give us, that is, the private contribution towards HAP tenancies, as well as other contributions that are forced on tenants in this regard, it is fair to say that, across the schemes, well over €1 billion will be spent this year.
