I might ask some questions of my own of Mr. Downes. We talked this morning about value for money. When the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform undertakes a value-for-money exercise, what are the timeframes involved? This is possibly different across Departments. I am asking the question with an eye to the future and the use of capital funds to address environmental issues such as flooding because it might need a different contextualisation in terms of value for money than we have been used to in the past. I also ask in view of decisions on the leasing of social homes.
