Good morning. I want to pick up on the thread relating to the figures for new houses and where they were generated. I am looking at the document provided to the committee, Rebuilding Ireland - Social Housing Delivery 2018. A note at the bottom of a table on page 2 states: "Build refers to Local Authority and Approved Housing Body construction, including traditional construction, turnkeys, rapid build delivery, regeneration and homes delivered through the Part V mechanism."

Can Mr. McCarthy break that down for the committee? In, say 2018, how many of those local authority builds were turnkeys? How many were regeneration? Why does the Department not divide them up? Within that, in our work, not necessarily this year but in future years, we need to know which is which in order that we can see where there is value for money. I can appreciate, for example, that in parts of the country purchasing would be sensible but in other parts that option may not be available.
