Have Mr. Lyons and his colleagues carried out an analysis on the various sites around the country to determine where this might happen? Where are the locations where housing estates might be held up? We are in the middle of a housing crisis. Mr. Lyons seems to be saying that housing estates which are about to be finished and handed over may very well experience very long delays because they have not got the necessary certification. Has Mr. Lyons carried out an analysis of what sites - or what colleagues - throughout the country this is likely to affect? What is going to be done about it within the industry? It poses a significant risk for the delivery of housing by the Government, and indeed within the private sector, and for any other construction that may be in the process of being completed. Am I reading what Mr. Lyons has said correctly?
