I am with Deputy McAuliffe. Many people do not realise that an AHB gets substantially more money from the Government per unit of accommodation than a local authority does. AHBs get an estimated cost of the long-term maintenance of the stock whereas local authorities do not. In fact, local authorities do not get anything for stock maintenance and the rents pay less than half of that cost. I think stock maintenance, or whatever one wishes to call it, would be an important topic to address. It does not mean that we cannot fit the other issues into other slots.
