I would like to follow up on Deputy Canney's question about the difficulty of spending capital expenditure within a single year. I appreciate that the Minister mentioned the multi-year capital envelopes given to the Departments. Is there scope for increased and more definite multi-annual funding commitments, particularly in the area of housing, which might bring greater certainty and increased efficiency in capital expenditure?
