The Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2016, which has just been published. I will then need to deal with the issue of IOTs being able to access that borrowing because they do not all have the same financial health and cannot borrow in the same way. Great strides have been made in delivering more student accommodation around DIT and elsewhere but in recognition of the challenge this has created, the enabling provision has been included in the Bill. My officials and I are engaging with the Department of Education and Skills on this matter. We will keep the Deputy informed. No doubt he will raise it again in the coming weeks.
