Very good. I thank Ms Philbin. I did not want to turn the Oireachtas committee into an area committee, but that information is important. We are trying to see how local authorities are implementing Housing for All. Two years ago, much of the legislation, the multi-annual plan, the budget and so on just were not there. It is impressive to see local authorities respond to that. It is a significant scale-up of ambition, resources and so on. I compliment the local authorities on that.

One thing we are starting to see from these meetings with local authorities is the issue of viability. Could the witnesses talk to us about procurements for both social and affordable housing? Can they give us a ballpark figure for procuring units from the market? I am talking about a two-bedroom or a three-bedroom house.
