I just have one minute left to speak. I will ask the question and perhaps the witnesses will come back with the answers in the next round. On the figures for cost rental, Meath had a figure of 151 on page 3 of its submission where it spoke about cost rental. The figure for affordable provision was 151 units over the period of the housing delivery action plan. It is anticipated that the majority of the units would be for affordable purchase. Perhaps the witnesses will come back to me on that figure for cost rental provision in Meath.

The Kildare figure for social and affordable was 219 - at Devoy Barracks, which is an LDA site. Does Kildare County Council have the breakdown on what is cost rental, private, social and affordable and all of that? There is a figure also of 242 under the approved housing bodies for delivery under the cost rental equity loan, CREL, but there is no figure for the local authority direct provision of cost rental units.

I am out of time. I must be as strict on myself as I am on others. Perhaps the witnesses will come back in the third round with the answers to those questions. I will move on now to the Labour Party speaking slot and Senator Mark Wall is very welcome to the committee.
