I want the Department to mass-produce. If we want to build them at scale, if we want to get 15,000 or 20,000 social, affordable and cost-rental units, preferably 20,000 or more, we are going to have to mass-produce. Does Mr. Doyle not agree? We cannot do it as it is. There were 1,166 built by the local authorities and 310 by the approved housing bodies, AHBs. That is all there was. Those are the figures that Mr. Doyle gave me and that the other members of the Committee of Public Accounts got. It is minuscule.
