I ask Mr. McCarthy to bear with me. I am not trying to catch him out. I am trying to use plain and simple English to elucidate the nature of the housing emergency. For a long time, the land aggregation scheme under which 247 ha of land have been transferred remained the third secret of Fatima. Nobody seemed to know about the land aggregation scheme after the decision to transfer land was made. Is it not the case that even though we are in a housing crisis, this land has remained absolutely unused? It has been confirmed today that even though proposals are in train, not one single public house has been built on the land in question. Is that correct?
