Mr. John McCarthy:

There would be cases where it would have been exceeded and that would have been on a certain basis. If we say we will do an approval at a particular point in the process and it is only going take three weeks, that assumes we get everything we need to be able to make a decision. These things can be argued around the place. From where the Department sits, and I can say this for all of my colleagues, including those present and others who work on this, our business is to get houses built for people. That is why we put the 59 week process in place in partnership with the local authorities. It is now up to all of us, including the Department and the local authorities, to honour that process, make it work and deliver for the people for whom we need to deliver.
