Some of my points have already been made. Whether it is one house in four or five or one in nine or ten will depend on whether the requirement is for 20% or 10% social housing. As I said already, if I were guaranteed that the 10% requirement was ring-fenced and could never be got out of by anybody, I would agree to the ability of the local authority to acquire one house in nine or ten being reduced to one house in four or five because one cannot take half of a house.

Second, I agree with Deputy Murphy. The ask of the housing bodies is very big. The Government is probably expecting a bit much from them.
