Mr. Flynn said he would forward details of the procurement issues regarding the delay, if that is the main reason for the delay in delivery. I am aware scale is also an issue. Mr. Flynn said scale is an issue. We hear Ministers saying that resources and funding are not an issue and that if money were the problem, this problem would be resolved many moons ago. I do not necessarily subscribe to that. The manner in which we respond to the issue is too simplistic. Can Mr. Flynn be a little more forthcoming? Is he saying he does not have the authority to make the call regarding the level of scale he believes is necessary to address this issue in a way that could be successful and achieved much earlier than conventional housing?
