Mr. Graham Doyle:

In terms of the factors that are outside of our control, as the Deputy points out, we try to respond to those as best we can by making alterations to schemes. We changed, for example, the cost-rental approach, in particular around the cost-rental equity loan. We have made a number of changes to flexibilities that local authorities have in terms of responding to cost inflation in conjunction with the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform.

I will give some examples of the adjustments that we have tried to make. In terms of viability, we continue to roll out certain schemes that seek to deal with viability challenges-----
