Where is the Deputy getting the figures from? The point is that obviously there is a tendering process involved in this and that will all come through, but I am very happy with the rapid build houses. I wanted houses that lasted longer than 30 years, perhaps for 60 or 70 years. I wanted an AA rating and I also wanted to ensure they were built as quickly as possible. They are the fastest built houses in the history of the State. That is the simple fact of the matter. Part of the solution into the future is to create the protocol, which has been put in place, to ensure we can do this in multiple places throughout the country. There are economies from doing so.
