I thank the witnesses for coming in and for the presentations. I will start with questions for the Irish Council for Social Housing. What we are talking about here is affordable housing. We are either talking about affordable purchase homes or cost-rental homes, which are basically for long-term tenure. I know the organisation is playing a significant role in relation to the current cost-rental units out there, but what proportion does this represent in social housing overall now and where would you like to see it going in relation to cost rental?
