I thank Mr. McDonagh for coming in. I echo the comments made by others that it is disappointing that the NTMA is not here. We are thankful that Mr. McDonagh has come in and we appreciate that.

I turn to some of the answers given on the role of the housing tsar. Mr. McDonagh said that his name was in the media but nobody had contacted him and he was annoyed by that. He said he was interested in the role and had experience and skills relevant to the role that he thought could be useful. He met with the Minister and had a conversation about the role, and then withdrew because someone was not supporting him. When he says someone was not supporting him, who does he mean?
