My first question is for Glenveagh, Cairn and Castlethorn. Regarding judicial reviews, notwithstanding the fact that I am a qualified barrister, I will probably take a different view to that of Deputy Ó Broin. There are certainly blockages there in terms of judicial reviews and delays. When developers are planning, and my understanding is that it takes, on average, just over two years to get planning through for housing estates and, on average, over four years for apartments, how much does that cost the company outside of the missing 200 or 2,000 missing homes? What is the actual cost to the company in terms of time and future projects? Has that been estimated?
