I know Mr. McCarthy said the Department had changed to a four-stage process. While I am someone who would not compromise on quality of work, value for money etc., I also am conscious that we pay directors of services and county managers in this country very well. They are paid to take responsibility. I am concerned about what I hear anecdotally from talking to and meeting people that some people still seem to be frustrated at the pace. If we are talking about ten houses in a small scheme in a local authority that has the staff and knows what needs to be done, there is frustration that questions are going back and forth, someone is on holidays and things get delayed repeatedly.
