Mr. Doyle can come back to me. We want to know specifically what legal instrument and legal hold does the State have. Much of the housing built last year was done through approved housing bodies. I do not have a problem with them and there are some very good approved housing bodies, such as Clúid and Respond. A number of the houses built in an earlier phase are coming out of term and they are unencumbered. Will we face an avalanche in the coming years? Will there be a free for all?
