This is being published next week. It is exactly what I mean. We have a housing crisis and we are trying to effect delivery. There is a substantial body being given both to the Department and local authorities to do that. These numbers are extremely important to us. The inconsistency between local authorities and approved housing bodies and deliveries from those is one of the reasons this was centralised. When Mr. Doyle was here before, we spoke about changing the four-stage process into a one-stage process and that was for departmental oversight and control in order to effect better or speedier delivery with local authorities. How has that been going? What is the pipeline in respect of that? How many have been delivered through that changed process?
