Mr. Eddie Taaffe:

As the Deputy knows, the criteria are that local authorities must have discovered, through a housing needs demand analysis, that 5% of households have an affordability constraint. We are working with local authorities in areas where, for example, the average for the county might not reflect particularly high prices in a particular town in the county. There might be a local affordability issue in a town. We are working with local areas in areas like that to do a town-specific or an area-specific housing need and demand assessment, which will allow them to qualify. We are working with local authorities in those kinds of areas. There are a few local authorities that did not exceed the 5% threshold but, after reanalysis, were able to make a case that a particular town exceeded the threshold. We will continue to work with local authorities to examine that fully.
