Senator Blaney's point is absolutely correct. There has been much cross-Border trade in terms of blocks. What is really remarkable, and we have a very large electoral presence in the adjoining counties, is that we are not getting any reports of properties in the North having defects that were built by block manufacturers in the South. Either they are producing different types of blocks or there is a different type of inspection system.
