We already last year moved on the debt around unsold affordables quite significantly. We funded local government to levels that it has not been funded previously.

The Deputy's question is a good one. If one looks at the €300 million that is there, to give the Deputy a sense of it, perhaps one third of that relates to land that would be difficult to develop. I discussed this with the Deputy's colleague earlier on before Deputy Gould came in. It might not be developable land. I want to use resources that we have such as this to write down debt so that we can build homes on those lands.
