I thank both organisations for their opening statements and additional documentation as well as for their ongoing work. I will start with Mr. Coleman and the Land Development Agency. The agency's business plan out to 2028 includes a commitment to deliver approximately 14,000 units, the bulk of those being cost-rental, at an estimated cost of €7 billion. So far, the State has committed €3.75 billion of that figure. That means there is still a black hole of approximately €3.25 billion in the financing of the plan. A working group was set up last year. It met four times. Its report was concluded in February of this year. Will Mr. Coleman share with us his understanding of how that black hole of €3.25 billion or more is going to be addressed? Where is that money going to come from? Is he in a position to share with us any of the recommendations of the draft report completed in February of this year?
