Does Ms Graham have an approximate figure for how many housing estates or housing units are under development in that area? While she is trying to locate that answer, I might embellish my point. The reason I ask the question is it has been brought to my attention that issues have arisen in some parts of the country in cases where there are tripartite agreements, where there are developers working alongside building contractors and local authorities. If one element of the deal collapses, the result is houses throughout the country that are under construction cannot be finished due to liquidity problems with the developers that are being supported with direct funding devolved through the Department to the local authorities. Is Ms Graham in a position to tell me how many schemes throughout the country are in some degree of trouble? I would welcome if she could give me any details in regard to that issue.
