Mr. John McCarthy:
The NTMA is taking the lead role in relation to that fund. Ultimately, the aim is to try to deliver 5,000 units through it. It is still at an early stage and delivery is expected to be at the back end of the five-year Rebuilding Ireland programme rather than at the front. Similarly, there is a public-private partnership programme where we have details at this stage of two bundles of projects to be progressed. Again, the NDFA, which is part of the NTMA, is acting as the procuring authority there.
