I thank Mr. McCarthy for that clarification. I do not mean to be parochial when I refer to Galway. We often talk about the crisis in Dublin, but the figures I have mentioned show that there is an absolute crisis in Galway. We will be lucky if 14 direct-build units are completed in Galway city this year. I refer to houses that are being built as part of a scheme of 69 houses in Knocknacarra. Is that not a crisis by any standard? I assume Mr. McCarthy is aware that we have not built a single house since 2009.
