Is it not strange that the Minister makes an announcement but does not inform the LDA and it is still being considered for housing? I will move on from that. I apologise but there are time constraints. It is not the LDA's issue and I respect that. It is doing its best. On apartments in the Cork docklands, the LDA is working with Glenveagh and the average cost is coming in at €445,000. Is that the average price the LDA is now paying for turnkey apartments nationally, or is it just in Cork? Has a value-for-money exercise been completed on the deal?
