All of these have funding. There are 11,000 that have not progressed for over a year. There are 5,000 houses and units that have been three years in stoppage. There is a blockage. I raised this previously with the Minister's predecessor, Deputy O'Brien. I was told that a special group would be set up to look at these cases to find out where the blockages were and get them delivered. To be honest, did the Minister even know before I mentioned it that there were 11,000 houses and units blocked right now, at a standstill?
