Mr. Graham Doyle:
We have applied very significant funding to the tenant in situ scheme in the past two years and indeed in terms of housing acquisitions for this year. We have secured additional funding to bring the budget up to €325 million for that. A purchase under the tenant in situ scheme is a response that the local authority can use in certain circumstances. We have continued to support that. The Minister has secured additional funding this year to support it. If the Deputy would like any details on the numbers, I have them here. Mr. Benson has them as well.
