Just to go back to the points I was making to Deputy Ó Broin, it is not at all my intent to make any of these changes with regard to the Land Development Agency in any way discharging its cost-rental portfolio at any point in the future. I do envisage - and this may be a point of difference between the Deputy and me - a cost-rental scheme in the years ahead in which the private sector plays a role, in conjunction with the Land Development Agency. They are meeting needs that the LDA cannot meet on its own, but the motivation for this change was not driven by anything with regard to the existing portfolio of cost-rental accommodation and its future ownership.
