Yes. We need a lot of local authorities to finalise what their drawdown is and what they are providing. For example, Cork City Council, with an allocation of €20 million, has drawn down €14,773,000 to date and has acquired 61 units. It also has additional headroom of €6 million on top of that €20 million. Therefore, in terms of being able to acquire properties, that is €26 million. For Cork County Council, the figure is €15 million.
