There are two matters I wish to raise, one of which relates to the delivery of temporary modular homes. I want to ask the Department about the cost per unit. I know there is a 60-year lifespan on these, which is very good. Does the cost include the connection to the services? How many are on order? What is the lead time for delivery? Is fire certification included in that? Does certification happen afterwards? Is that included in the cost? That is the first matter I wish to raise.

With regard to Benefacts, which is the final item referred to in this correspondence, I understand there is a further response pending from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. I presume that will come up next week. I will come back to the matter at that stage, but I may well refer to this correspondence.
