Eoin Ó Broin: Sure, but I am dealing with this year's Estimates. On the shared equity loan for which €44 million is allocated in the Estimates, is it correct to say that the Minister's hope is that with the banks' participation that will double to €88 million? Will the Minister also confirm if the regional caps are as they were previously announced in the media or if he is reviewing...

Eoin Ó Broin: I genuinely appreciate the answers. With respect to Croí Cónaithe, can the Minister provide some detail about how he expects the €50 million to be spent? Also, has the Department decided whether Croí Cónaithe will take the form of a grant to the developer or subsidy to the buyer? Will it be shared equity or will there be a clawback?

Eoin Ó Broin: I am looking for as much factual information as possible. There was an underspend on the social housing budget this year.

Does the Minister have a sense, from looking at the...

Eoin Ó Broin: It would be useful, when those figures are published, if the annual breakdown of turnkey housing versus direct delivery was included in the quarterly report. I ask the Minister to consider that.

Eoin Ó Broin: Perfect. I want to move on to the €40 million for the defective mica and pyrite block scheme. The Minister knows that there was a lot of anger at the last-minute construction of the sliding scale at the end of last year.
