Mr. John McCarthy:
It would be one of two things: first, they were in parts of the country where there was not a demand for social housing; or, second, they were located in places where there was already a significant amount of social housing.
One of the other issues is that in order to bring some of the units on stream in some cases, significant completion work would have to be done. Some of the units were not complete and ready to move into, which would have taken some time to address. With your permission, Chairman, I will ask Mr. Layde to say a few words.
