It is important that the affordable housing concept is worked positively. Some 2,000 people are on the housing waiting list in County Galway. Unfortunately, they will remain on the list for many years to come unless the Minister decides that local authorities should acquire land which they will not be able to do under this legislation because we do not know what the alternatives are. There will be no movement. The building community which has hung the Minister out to dry will do so again unless he is up-front about his intentions in this regard.
