I agree. It will take time. We met our colleagues in Vienna, which is obviously the poster child for the cost-rental model. There is a great number of people living in cost-rental homes there across the spectrum.

With regard to Project Tosaigh and the stalled planning applications, while I do not want the witnesses to name any particular site or anything, what have been the main reasons for those projects stalling? Is it the affordability gap or the viability gap? Will the witnesses outline what they would propose to bridge that viability gap?
