Yes, but each year the Minister has been increasing the overall output of social housing. Admittedly, last year there were fewer units than the year before but there were still more than in the years before that. Each year, the overall expenditure should increase, whereas the local authorities currently have around €200 million less than what they spent last year. That is a fact, based on the Minister's figures.
