I did not catch all of the meeting but what struck me most of all from the first questioner, Deputy Hourigan, right through was the phrases "we are currently looking into that" and "we are looking to establish this". We are in the depths of a housing emergency and whether it is delays or the revolving acquisition fund or whatever questions the witnesses were asked, the answer was always that the matter was being looked at. We are in the depths of a housing emergency and things are just being looked at and faults identified in the various schemes and processes have just been allowed run. I question the witnesses' grasp of how desperate it is out there when things are allowed to sit and slide without immediate attention being given to them. Things that could be rectified fairly swiftly to ensure the smooth delivery of homes to people have not been done.
