Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)

I cannot understand the reason the Minister of State can be happy with the output under the Part V mechanism of the social and affordable housing scheme when 90,000 houses were built in 2006, 20% of that is 18,000 and the Minister got 2,400. First, why are we only getting slightly in excess of 2,000 houses under the Part V mechanism when we should be getting much more based on the number of houses built? Second, how much money has been collected by each local authority and what are they doing with it?
