I did not invent it but perhaps I have misinterpreted the Bill. I hope I have but I will raise my interpretation of it on Report Stage. The Minister of State said that if Deputy Boyd Barrett was Minister with responsibility for housing, he would not be building all these houses. The Minister of State is dead right but there is a good reason for it. The Government would not give him the money to do it.
