Will the Minister please provide the committee with the following information: the origins of the houses, the average rent being charged for them, and whether the article is accurate in stating a four-bedroom house in the Phoenix Park is being provided to a retired civil servant for what has been suggested to be just above €1,000 per year? That is interesting, to say the least. What is the policy on that? If the Minister can provide any information to the committee, it would be helpful. I appreciate it is not something we flagged with him, but it is in the media and he is responsible for the Department.
