Deputy Ó Broin cannot help himself. I am not going to lower myself to his level. His performance so far here this evening - and it has been a performance - speaks for itself. I am trying to address the points he has raised. We have brought in a 2% cap on rent increases, which Sinn Féin supported. Sinn Féin has actually supported ten of the 11 pieces of legislation I have brought forward over the past 12 to 14 months. Despite this, according to Sinn Féin, we are doing everything wrong. There is a little bit of a contradiction there. When Deputy Ó Broin and his colleagues talk about dramatically increasing investment, does that mean more than the €2.8 billion Sinn Féin said it would put in when we are putting in €4 billion?
