Turning to Professor Norris, I fully agree with her regarding the income limits. We definitely need to address that aspect. On her comments concerning the LDA and its negotiations with other State bodies about securing land, has progress actually been made? Mr. Coleman has given us an overview of what his agency has achieved since June 2025, referring to sites being secured for 800 homes, 350 homes, 700 homes and 400 homes. He is clearly indicating that the LDA has been getting the land to build these houses over the last few months. Have we cracked the nut in relation to State bodies transferring land to the LDA or is there still a fundamental problem with that process?
