Mr. Graham Doyle:
Of course, we would much prefer to have new units or units owned by the State. In the case of some of these schemes, the Exchequer spending on a unit can be €6,000 or €8,000 per annum. If we were spending €300,000, €400,000 or whatever it might be upfront, a huge Exchequer investment would need to be made in terms of building up significant numbers of those.
