The Deputy spoke about the figure for the market last year but I would dispute that. On the recent mortgage numbers, I believe that 24,000 mortgage were approved. I saw something else recently talking about 50,000 transactions. The market is a lot bigger than 7,000 so I am not quite sure where Deputy O'Brien got that number from.
