I thank the Minister and apologise for rushing. The Minister said earlier that more money has gone into the tenant in situ scheme since he became Minister. The tenant in situ scheme stopped in Cork on 4 April. That was confirmed by Cork City Council. A number of families - some have been evicted at this stage - have had to leave the properties. Will the Minister provide the funding to complete all tenant in situ transactions that were sale agreed from last year? Will he give a commitment to me, to anyone watching and to local authorities that he will fund local authorities to reopen the tenant in situ scheme? From my information, it is virtually closed in every local authority.
