I thank the Minister of State for the figures. They are very clear. In the context of the review, the Minister of State has given similar responses in the past. The review arose from the work of the Committee on Housing and Homelessness. One of its strong recommendations was that there be an urgent review of the tenant purchase scheme. Various comments were made by different contributors concerning the scheme, some positive and some negative. On 29 June 2016, the Minister of State responded to a Fianna Fáil Deputy to the effect that, in line with the commitment in the programme for Government, he planned to undertake a review of the scheme. That was fine and the Minister of State provided clarification. On 25 January 2018, he indicated that the review was almost complete and then, in July 2018, he stated that it had been completed. That was over a year ago. It was stated that the review was completed and that a full report had been prepared. Why is the report not available? When exactly was it completed?
