Mr. Graham Doyle:

I very much hope that is not the case and I would not imagine it is, not to argue with the Deputy. We have a unit within the Department that works with the local authorities around the resourcing needs. It does some very good work. It is very important to us. Local government provides about 1,100 different services. We counted them I believe. That is a joke by the way; we did not actually count them. Just to show the scale of what local government does, 1,100 services is the accepted kind of thing. It is really important it has the resourcing, whether it is in planning, in trying to bring forward its own builds and housing units. The staffing itself is a matter for the local authority chief executives and how that works but we do work with them around the sanctioning and all of that as well.
