Today we are reading that unfortunately we have missed targets as announced by the Taoiseach yesterday. We have an underspend in the Department, if Mr. Doyle's figures are correct, of €451 million. It will be carrying it through to 2022, just €247 million. We also read today in the newspapers that 28%, more than a quarter, of the grants of permission will not be commenced. What is the problem?
