I do not agree with that to a certain extent. Maybe they are aware, but their understanding is limited as to the actual reasons for the lack of supply and delivery. I received a document from the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, yesterday. From the point view that viability is the biggest issue that many developers are facing - and it is a combination of planning policy and the planning process - it is really worrying that we will not see houses being built any time soon. A total of 70,000 applications for planning permission have been granted. The issue with builders not going ahead with projects relates to viability. The Government has not addressed that in its latest proposed policy approach. Can Mr. Clancy offer any insight into the viability of the developments to which I refer?

Is Enterprise Ireland hearing that from anybody?
