I do not mean to be critical, but I did not get the basic picture from any of the reports. It is probably eminently understandable to everybody on the witness's side of the table, but there was no mention of this €45 million being paid to the developer. Okay, he built them for the price, which turned out to be €200,000 per housing unit. That was probably reasonable value, but I will not even go there at this stage. Essentially, the witness is saying Durkan New Homes got the €31 million because the Department was unable to provide vacant possession. That is the position, to put it in a one liner.
