I am sure the Minister read in the newspapers two weeks ago that Orange Capital Partners have announced a forward purchase agreement of currently developed stock in three locations. These are in Cherrywood, in my constituency at Adamstown and in the Minister's constituency at Portmarnock. Many of these developments include not only apartments but also duplexes and family homes. Does the Minister accept that the measures undertaken by him and his colleague, the Minister for Finance, Deputy Donohoe, to stop these institutional investors swooping in and snapping up family homes have failed?
