It is generally agreed that we need to be building approximately 30,000 housing units per annum. The 3,000 figure is 10% of that demand, yet Bank of Ireland is saying that it accounts for 50% of all new lending. Is it fair or unfair to say that that seems to be a relatively low level of lending for the building of houses at a time when we have a major supply issue?
