I do not have the breakdown by local authority in front of me. I mentioned that the architect Mel Reynolds has done a breakdown of the cost of HAP versus direct local authority build. According to his calculations, it costs the State €450 more per month to support tenancies through HAP compared with direct build. Those are 2017 figures.

The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform has done some numbers as well comparing the various schemes. According to its figures, local authority construction is the cheapest way to deliver houses in the Dublin area compared with RAS and HAP. Generally, HAP is more expensive than RAS. That changes when you go outside of Dublin. There is less of a difference between the expense-----
