David Stanton (Cork East, Fine Gael)

When was the €19 million transferred? Was it intended to cover all of 2005 or is the intention that the funding will roll into 2006 and 2007? If it does not roll into 2006 and 2007, will further moneys be transferred from the Minister's Department to the other Department next year? If the €19 million was for 2005, how many houses will it provide? Will the Minister confirm the Department of the Environment and Local Government's target of 5,000 for the end of this year, of which I was informed by way of a parliamentary question last June?
