By the time the Department commences 6,000 apartments, it will cost €6 billion. The Department is talking about putting €750 million into cost rental. The Department has already said it will see the commencement of 6,000 apartments. That is what it costs. If a person is developing apartments around the towns in the country or in Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway, the apartments will cost at least €100,000 more than housing. That is where the €6 billion comes from: 6,000 apartments at €100,000 extra over housing. Mr. Doyle looks confused.
