I am asking the big question because in every local authority in Ireland this question gets asked every time they have a housing plan. It is all being done by the AHBs and local authorities are getting no look at building the houses and they have the proven track record for decades. Maybe it is public policy to not let them do it anymore, I do not know. Why are the AHBs here? What went wrong with the system that the AHBs had to come in and take over?
