On foot of my earlier question about money from the local property tax fund which was allocated for social housing, the figure in the case of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council being €10 million for 2015 and €8 million for 2016, will the Minister confirm that there is nothing to stop the council from using the money as it sees fit to provide new social housing? I would like a clear answer to that question.
