That is grand. I may send Mr. Baneham the details.

Ms Feeney is in the firing line for my next question. When I was coming in, I heard her referring to the repair-and-lease scheme. I was delighted to hear there is some upward movement regarding the valuation. While a local authority currently gives a grant of €6,500 for a drop-level shower, we are offering only €60,000 for repair and lease. It does not make sense. When does Ms Feeney envisage this changing? Could she state how it might change?
