Mr. Graham Doyle:

I would not say that at all. The Deputy can see our Vote, the number of subheads in our Vote, the range of programmes and the breadth of the Department. It is significant. The Exchequer funding that comes through the Department, at €6.7 billion, is very significant. What I was saying to Deputy Ó Cathasaigh is that, as we look across housing in particular and variants in particular subheads, many of these areas are new or there has been a huge new drive under them. That is what I was getting at.
