I have a quick supplementary question. I know Mr. Hall probably wants to come in. Mr. Kennedy has said what he has said, and it is a point to which Deputy Healy-Rae alluded. I often hear that mantra. I ask Mr. Kennedy to respond to the following. I challenge whether in practice, rather than in economic theory, an increase in supply brings down price. The obvious example is the Celtic tiger, where that did not happen. Prices and rents went up. Supply is ramping up in my area at the moment but there is no sign of prices coming down at all. In fact, if anything, they are going up.
