Mr. Roger Harrington:

Certainly. Deputy McAuliffe asked if all the AHBs are availing of all the tools. Certainly, what we are trying to do, and where I am responsible for CALF, which is the main funding model, is to coax or to persuade AHBs to get more into the delivery of social housing.

To give a practical example, later this month, on 26 January, along with the ICSH, we are organising a workshop for smaller AHBs to essentially say to them that these are the range of tools that are available from the State. I will go along to present in terms of the CALF review, outlining the supports we have. The Housing Agency will be there talking about the technical supports and the Housing Finance Agency will also be there. We are basically trying to persuade those smaller AHBs that there is a range of those supports which will enable them to take up a higher level of delivery of social housing.
