Are people wanting to get into the rental market just in Dublin, for example, because they are getting a high market price? Then there is a certain market price in Limerick or Clare with different returns. As you go out of the cities, how many are dropping off within the county areas or within the town or village areas because of what they face with infrastructure and things like that? Those types of data would be very helpful to the committee. The Government has said we will have housing for all, not just in populated or money-making areas where there are higher rents and yields. Funding for people to build apartments was going to higher properties within the higher populated areas such as Dublin and other areas. It did not cover all the country.
