We said previously at the committee that we could do a whole day on the housing assistance payment, HAP, in terms of value for money, the amount of money now being spent on housing assistance payments and the amount spent on acquisitions. I think nearly €1 billion has been spent by local authorities on house acquisitions in the past seven years. Are we going to structure the day in order to deal with the various issues? Otherwise, we could go all over the place.
