Exactly, for a change. To come back to some points made earlier in the context of the presentation from the representatives of the local authority sector, in a response to the Chair regarding targets for the buy and renew scheme, BRS, no mention was made of the repair and leasing scheme, RLS, which has been very successful in my county.

If every local authority in the country had delivered the number of units of repair and lease that Waterford has, we would have significantly exceeded our targets under the previous Rebuilding Ireland plan, but that did not happen. I would like to see local authorities place targets on the repair and lease scheme. I have asked this question several times of the Department and it seems unwilling to force local authorities or place targets on them to deliver under repair and lease. Will the CCMA look at that?
