Maybe we could have a list of those, showing the amount of LPT receipts going to housing. We will have another discussion on the LPT and the baseline this afternoon.

The amount budgeted for private housing grants in 2017 was €34 million and the amount spent was €44 million. The Secretary General has stated that it is a demand-led scheme. I have seen it work very effectively in making housing viable for people to live in again; it is a very good initiative. From where was that €10 million transferred? Was it transferred within or did additional money come from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform?
