Mr. John McCarthy:
I have just two points on that. I am quite surprised that a local authority chief executive would have a sense of disappointment, or however the Deputy characterised it, over the announcement of stage 1 of a housing scheme. That is the first formal subscription by the Department to a budget for a project. That is very important. It is what gets it moving through the system.
Could the Deputy remind me about the second issue he raised? I wrote it down but cannot read my own handwriting.
