Mr. John McCarthy:
If one looks back over the past four or five years, one gets a good sense of the extent to which the build programme has shrunk back because of the much more limited resource base we have been dealing with. It gives a sense of why the scheme was necessary, because sites could not be brought to development. In 2009, nearly 3,200 new local authority social housing units were built nationally.
