There is a great deal of work being done within the Government to try to get people around the table in order to cut out bottlenecks and anything else that slows down the progress. We have to understand that housing is the number one infrastructure that needs to be delivered. Everything is being done within the Government to do that. The Government is listening to Uisce Éireann, providers and builders because, just like Uisce Éireann, builders must apply for planning permission. There are huge bottlenecks there. In business, if something is slowing us down or not making us money, whip it out. Obviously, that should be done without impacting on what happens in the future. We must ensure quality and that everything is done properly.
