I thank Mr. Ó Donnabháin. I will ask about the caravan loan scheme. We have had discussions about the scheme at the committee and it was put to us by others that a caravan rental scheme would be a better option. Given the two local authorities have a lot of experience on the ground, how would they feel about that proposal? People rent local authority houses all the time and pay a differential rent. It seems to me strange that people have to buy, rather than rent, a caravan. Would the representatives of Mayo and Cork councils care to comment? We have heard that proposal in the past. Would it be a better way to go or is it best to stay with what we have?
