Mr. Graham Doyle:

One of the factors is the need to have water connections available. Up to recently, the level of connection to water was very strong. The statistics were very high in terms of the response levels from Uisce Éireann. That has dropped with the demand that is now there for connections. It is one of a number of factors in terms of the overall delivery of houses.
