Mr. Eugene Cummins:
Up until 2015 we were actually purchasing social housing units because of the huge glut of properties that were available and at best value. It was not until last year that money was made available for actually going to construction. We have been looking for approval and have been planning Part 8 projects, the whole process of procurement, tendering and going to tender. The first tranche of houses will be in 2017. The procurement process is very lengthy. It is outside of our control as it is a statutory, regulatory process.
