That is accepted and read. I have two quick additional questions. A third of the defects budget has not been spent. The Minster knows there is huge demand for the emergency funding. How come some of that money has not been made available for that emergency funding, and will any emergency funding be made available this year? The €70 million underspend in the affordable housing fund for affordable purchase is of an allocation of €90 million. Does that mean the affordable housing fund purchase targets will be badly missed this year?
