We are all using the same language. We all know what are the issues and we have set out the structure. The Chairman will prepare a draft structure for us involving two meetings a week and we can then get on with the business. An easy way of getting our work underway could be to first bring in the Minister to find out what are his problems and what are the issues in his Department. Local authorities have a huge role to play and they should be brought in as soon as possible. Deputy Cowen spoke about the approval process, which is also a huge issue in the medium to long term. Addressing that aspect would enable us to deliver houses faster for communities.
