No, it is about the State failing to deliver public housing for any significant period between 2010 and 2020.

There is no doubt, as Deputy Ó Cathasaigh said, that we started that decade with serious financial issues. Yet, at some point during that ten-year period you would have to say that there was a tipping point that I am trying to identify. In the ten-year period during which the Housing Agency had the responsibility for those sites - although the local authorities are responsible for delivery - at what point did it say there was a problem and that these sites were not being developed? Was it in 2014 or 2015 or 2016 or 2017 or 2018?
