That debate will continue but as long as we rely on HAP, we will have problems. My next question relates to my earlier contribution. I will outline a concrete example, which is important. It relates to Cherrywood. That development could solve the housing crisis in the greater Dún Laoghaire area. At the weekend we had evidence it would not be able to do that because of the approach of the Minister and the Government over the past ten years. NAMA sold it to Hines, a supposed developer, and at the weekend that supposed developer announced it would sell 73 acres of the land. It has walked away with a fortune, although I do not know exactly how much that is.
