Mr. Graham Doyle:

Some of the measures were adopted in the sense of the emergency that existed. We did a little bit of talking yesterday evening on that in terms of what was available to the State, what kind of armoury was available to the State as the housing problem emerged and the speed of it. Certainly, the answer has to be much more build and direct delivery. We need to be showing the balance. We talked yesterday about needing to reduce the HAP numbers over time as delivery improves. Delivery has significantly improved over the last number of years. It still has a long way to go and we have to focus on that so the measures we use and the way we report it has to acknowledge that, exactly as the Deputy says.
