In providing that, the scheme will exclude people and will ask people to continue in the torturous situation where they have to watch and wait for the cracks to get just a little bit larger before the scheme is done. That must be looked at. I want to give an example of a real-life situation regarding the idea of 100%. This is not a made-up story; this is absolutely real. It is a home in Westport. The best quote from a builder is for €296,000. The new scheme will provide €2,045 per sq. m.
The house is 94.5 sq m, which would give a grant of €193,334, leaving a shortfall of €102,666. Will Mr. Ó Coigligh tell me how that is 100%?
