Mr. Tom Parlon:

There are concerns for the industry in this regard in the context of spending. Has the State the capacity to build the additional houses or to spend the €116 billion? I believe that we have more capacity than State agencies at the moment. They have run down their personnel and that needs to be built up. We met the Minister for Finance and his officials earlier and we said that is the big focus. The Government's own bodies should be examined and some investment should be put into them.
