There will be more time for questions tomorrow, but in the meantime I would like as short an answer as possible while still addressing the issue. I know it is an impossible task. It is probably not surprising that in considering Vote 34 I was drawn to the money spent on the O'Devaney Gardens development in 2018 and 2019. The figures were €1.7 million for 2018 and €3.79 million for 2019. Does that relate specifically to the social housing built outside the housing land initiative, HLI, or does it include HLI-related spending?
