I thank the Minister. I wish to go back to the question regarding the amount of funding the State is providing on housing in comparison with the private sector. In the Minister or the Department’s view, what is the ideal percentage breakdown between houses that are publicly funded versus those that are delivered privately? At the moment, as the Minister said, it is approximately 50%. Where would the Minister like to see that figure ideally?
