I thank the four approved housing bodies for their contributions and opening statements and for all the very good work they do. The previous discussion on numbers gives some idea of the scale of the operations, and the significant growth there has been in scaling up over the last number of years, which also presents particular challenges. I have a few questions, the first of which is for Tuath and is to take up where Senator Boyhan left off with its representatives about ethical pension funding. Do I understand from Tuath's reply that it was not able to get funding for a certain number of units because they were long-term leases, as opposed to in perpetuity? I would like the witnesses to continue that as they were cut off. The in-depth modelling done by Tuath shows this can be better value for money. Is that published or otherwise available, and can a copy be sent to the committee?
