Okay. I have to compliment the council. It is very interesting how this has been delivered. There is a 71-unit development in Waterford city that is specifically geared for older persons. This is what I am trying to tease out with my council. What percentage of that development should be made available for those who have private homes versus right-sizing within their own stock, and the new people who are on the list who are above the age of 50? I will take that information from Mr. Geaney and I would appreciate it if Cork City Council could perhaps liaise with Waterford City and County Council on that.

We were teasing out the viability of the PRS and the opportunities that were there. Going back to some of the targets, Mr. Geaney said there would be 135 affordable homes this year. Are those solely the council's or is the LDA tied into them as well?
