Ms Marguerite Ryan:

I have some of the numbers for the Deputy now, and we will do a fuller report after the meeting, if that is okay. We do not have a lease-to-buy scheme; the scheme is called leasing. A total of 4,580 units were supported in 2019, which is about 32% of the budget at €39.5 million.
