Chairman, I ask that Deputy Farrell would allow me deal with this. I am within my time and I will finish within my time. If I have a nine-page document telling me that the economy is fundamentally sound, and if Mr. Moran is sticking to that, then I have to interpret that as meaning that the collateral damage of a good, functioning economy is 10,000 people homeless and a major housing crisis. That is the only way I can interpret it. Is it a wrong interpretation?
