Mr. Pat Montague:

At the moment, based on the current application processes, it takes over 12 months to get from application to getting a grant, never mind getting work done. I know for sure that the Minister, the Housing Agency and officials in the Department accept that this is way too long. We will be meeting again on 21 October, this day next week, to try to see if we can short-circuit that. It absolutely needs to be short-circuited. Originally, we were talking about things being turned around in a matter of months. I know Mr. Doran's group went out to tender.
