No one is saying that Clare County Council is dragging its feet. The fund has been open for approximately one year. We have already approved 27 projects across the country in that year. Many of those are now being built. Over 1,800 affordable homes will be provided through local authorities. I have given examples of other counties that have made submissions. This is not back-of-an-envelope stuff. A proper submission must be made. We will provide the funding accordingly. I have changed the affordable housing fund to allow the subvention to increase and vary from €100,000 to €150,000 so we can ensure that people in Clare can buy affordable homes, led by the local authority. The first home scheme is open to all 26 counties. We have had over 460 eligibility-----
