As already stated, the funding in question is very much focused on what we have been requested to provide, through the sector, in the context of additional homes this year. Some of these requests do relate to advanced purchase or nearer-term delivery on some sites where we are getting some units in sooner and we wish to pay for this year. As a result, some of these homes will be purchased in advance through arrangements and opportunities that will present themselves through our partners in the AHB sector. It is a specific allocation to target that number of homes. As I told the Deputy, I am quite happy to give him the breakdown of these details, not per area but by housing type, and also the split according to the different types of housing that will be provided. I have also stated that this will enable us, through the increased funding, to look at another 1,000 units into next year in this delivery stream through CAS.
