I said earlier that given the crisis we have in housing, it is extremely important that shovel-ready schemes are given the green light. I am not aware of the local position and I do not know why Sinn Féin is opposing this plan or the rationale behind it. I am not au faitwith the specific details of every scheme and this particular one. We are in a position where we need houses built. The biggest challenge facing us over the next 12 months is not funding, resources or ideology as we are committed to both public and affordable housing, cost-rental and many other forms of housing. The issue will be the capacity to get supply up, schemes built and homes delivered to people who need them.
