I might sit down with the Deputy and explain the schemes to him in more detail. I am happy to meet him. I am saying that to be fair to the local authority, it has to put work together to make a submission to seek the subvention under the affordable housing fund. The fund is open to all local authorities, including Clare County Council. We will continue to work with the local authority to bring those schemes forward. I await those schemes. I am more than happy to engage directly with Clare County Council, as I have done with many other local authorities. I have given examples of counties that have brought forward their first schemes and there are more coming.
