Waterford has one of three schemes approved for turnkey affordable purchase.

They were some of the first in the country in terms of a joint venture with a developer. They are going to be coming on stream and the application process will open soon. I do not want somebody who meets all of the criteria to unfortunately miss out as a result of his or her employer having been on a wage subsidy scheme that is a distant memory to the individual, in particular where there are higher incomes coming into the house or promotion, as was the case with one individual. I think Mr. Jordan gets the general point I am making. A more complete response would be required on that.
