That is okay. I thank Mr. Doyle.
In March, it was reported that up to 5,000 social and affordable houses were being held up because of Government funding issues. The Department of housing ceased signing off on cost-rental schemes in August 2024 and social housing schemes in October. What was the basis of this decision to increase the length of time it takes for sign off from six to eight weeks to months and months?
