My final question relates to affordable housing. The figure provided in respect of affordable housing units is 6,400. Could the Minister break that down in terms of vacant, cost-rental and affordable purchase houses? I would question the officials in the context of vacant housing units being included in the numbers for affordable housing. Can the Minister explain how such units are being used to deliver affordable housing?
