To be clear, what I think the Minister is saying is that there is no ongoing work within his Department or the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government of which he is aware which forms part of this objective of developing an SPV. As far as the Minister is concerned, the framework is there for the credit union movement to go ahead and do this. That is what I am hearing. I would imagine this issue was discussed during the Minister's meeting on Tuesday. Could the Minister clarify whether the issue was discussed then? Perhaps he could ask his officials to look at what commitments the Minister of State, Deputy English, has given that would be completed in the first quarter of 2019 and revert to us on that.
