Who is getting the extra cash? There is a notional thing involved. I do not mean to be dismissive of Mr. Coleman and I do not mean it that way but because there is this notion around certain areas, they are more expensive. The hard fact is that this land was acquired from the local authority for a nominal sum. A builder comes in. Concrete blocks cost the same to build in Shankill as anywhere else. I do not want to pigeonhole areas but concrete blocks cost the same in areas that have the lowest house prices in Ireland. Timber, windows and doors are the same price. A plasterer will be paid roughly the same wages. The brickies will be earning €1 or a bit more per block. The electrician will cost so much per socket and fitting. That is the way it is done. Is that not the truth of the matter?
