I want you to tell me why, as Secretary General of the Department, you are not insisting on being able to use exactly the same plan. I know you are using similar designs, similar standards and similar internal layout. I know all of that, but the same plan not being used from one county to another is a problem in terms of mass production. We need to mass-produce. I am sure that people in Kerry who want to buy an affordable house or live in social housing would not object to living in the same type of house as a person in Donegal.
