I asked a parliamentary question on it recently. I will get the reference for Mr. McCarthy.
The other issue in which I am interested is the transfer of funding for voluntary housing associations or bodies. What happens when NAMA decides it has an interest in terms of filling the gap? In Kilkenny we have 3,500 people on the housing list and 41 units are to be become available, and NAMA has those units. Does NAMA negotiate with the Department and does the Department give the money to a housing agency, or does the housing agency negotiate with NAMA and then it goes to the Department for the funding?
