I thank Ms Lawson, but I go back to the numbers. From the statement it seems they have the numbers but talking to the local authorities they do not. It seems to be a clear blockage and I wonder if that is maybe holding us back. That is one thing I want to put out there.

Mr. Whelan mentioned the reality of numbers and rents, etc. In this committee over recent weeks, we heard different numbers with regard to the State's requirement. Is it 30,000 houses? Is it 40,000, 60,000 or 90,000 houses? In addition, how does he break down the density and tenure mix of the housing units that are needed?
