Now, there is hope. We now have money to invest in social housing, and that is being done. As I outlined, the total fund is over €900 million. A sum of €923 million is being invested in 2016 for the provision of social housing. There is €3.8 billion for the programme to supply social housing in the coming years. As the recovery is ongoing the discussion we should have is about dealing with that. If the Deputy had wished to have a proper and positive reaction, she could have forwarded those cases to me before raising them in the House so I could have had time to research them and provide her with a fuller response.
