No, I am not talking about individuals, I am talking about across the country. We can get State land working to get houses built, with social houses and affordable houses, for people. The majority of such lands will remain in local authority ownership post development. There is a portfolio of nine sites already waiting to go that can provide 4,000 houses. The difference really is that to a certain degree the Deputy suffers from paralysis by analysis. The Deputy keeps on analysing every single scheme, and he keeps on finding something wrong with each scheme and a reason to oppose it. This has been the consistent thread on local authorities from the parties opposite with regard to housing provision and housing schemes.
