It has been a hot topic but the world and his mother have heard about these barriers over the last year, and the very fact that we need to bring forward different legislation on planning. A lot of people, myself included, have been talking about emergency legislation to deal with it. Let us say the Minister wakes up in the morning and decides to bring forth this emergency legislation and we can all get going and start building homes. On access to labour and lands, we have discussed finance. By how much could all the organisations present ramp up production? Cairn Homes said it has around 2,000 units a year. How many more homes would be built and how much closer to our target of 60,000 would we get if we introduced emergency legislation? I have a very quick follow-up question. I am running out of time and the Cathaoirleach is going to knock me off, no doubt. The term "vulture fund" has often been confounded with institutional financing. I believe there is a gap of approximately €14 billion to be found. That needs to come from institutional finance. How do our guests suggest actually accessing that if it were to be made available?
