Is the Minister of State suggesting credit unions are now able to invest in the provision of social housing through approved housing bodies? How many credit unions are now able to do that? I am sure the Department monitors this. It is a really good social development and it would be a very good provision for co-operative-type of housing developments, like the Ó Cualann development, to be funded through the credit union model. How many credit unions have actually succeeded in doing this so far?
