I have a technical question. In a response on this issue earlier, the Minister indicated that the cost -rental subsidy would be available to approved housing bodies. He has not said that before so is that the case?

Second, does the Government envisage on certain projects a combination of the cost-rental subsidy and, for example, the affordable housing fund, AHF, or the CREL to increase the subsidy? I am thinking, in particular, of Poolbeg. Is that in the Minister's thinking in respect of the cost-rental subsidy scheme?
