I accept that. This is what I am saying, we must find a way to deal with it. This is why the new standard that will be announced shortly, I hope, might help us to achieve this in some cases. If not, we will have to go even further again. I am committed to trying to find a process to end this limbo. I accept that, but I ask the Deputy not to tell me there is a lack of common sense because there is not. There are criteria for a reason. It is taxpayers' money. More than €50 million has been spent so far, which is lot of money to spend on houses, but rightly so when they need it.
