I am glad that Deputy Healy-Rae remembers what I said in Kerry, which is good. We had a really good day in Tralee. We are investing a large amount money in some big social housing projects and redevelopment projects there, particularly in the Mitchels area. I said that the repair and leasing scheme will be going nationwide this year but the emphasis will be on providing social housing provision where there is social housing need. I ask the Deputy to hear me out, because that includes Kerry.
