That brings me straight to my next question. I believe Mr. Farrell is hitting too many roadblocks. There has been a Government roadblock, a Central Bank roadblock, etc. In his opening statement, Mr. Farrell said the credit unions have €13 billion in savings and €15 million in assets. Is that correct? Why not grow the assets? Why not let the credit unions build the houses themselves? Can that be done?
