I thank the Minister and his team for the detailed briefing documents. First, I do not understand why the €250 million for the development levy waiver scheme has gone into subhead A3, local authority housing. Obviously, local authorities would have otherwise collected that development levy and that would have been used as part of the general Government funds. Surely that is not the correct place for it. This is not just a technical matter and I will explain why I have a concern about its presentation here in a second.
