(Cavan-Monaghan): My question deals with CRVs. Arising out of the Minister's advice to purchasers to insist on a CRV, surely he is aware of the present practice under which builders refuse to do business with purchasers who require a CRV and as a result have to pay much more for their houses and lose their grants?

(Interruption.)

Order. I am calling the next question.
