I apologise for being late. I have missed some of the opening statement but the delegation is very welcome. I shall concentrate on the housing part of the submission. We have met a number of the voluntary housing groups who mentioned blockages and delays in delivering voluntary housing for social housing purposes. Has the Department identified blockages? Can it assist voluntary housing groups in dealing with blockages? Is it just a fear of borrowing 80% of the money from the Housing Finance Agency? Has the Department identified serious blockages in voluntary housing? I ask the delegation to please respond to each of my questions individually.
