I get that but I am trying to understand it. Let us say the Taoiseach gets his way and there are 50,000 homes a year, as outlined. Of those homes that are being delivered in the cities, 50% have to be in the cities and suburbs, while 30% have to be in all of the other targeted settlements. That means 20% are not within any of those settlements. One would assume those are one-off houses. Approximately 20% of all new houses built in the past five or six years have been one-off houses. According to the latest IGEES report, these have been in rural areas predominantly. I am struggling to understand how 50%, 30% and 20% gives us the 40% in objective 7. It may be that I do not understand it.
