I am very familiar with the schemes at both O'Devaney Gardens and Oscar Traynor Road, and to be fair, they are from before Housing for All. They were developed by the previous Government and they did not have the €100,000 subsidy or the affordable purchase fund. The biggest problem at O'Devaney Gardens and the reason we could only deliver 80% public housing on the site was that the Government of the day was not willing to fund public housing on that land. The difference in Housing for All is that it is willing to fund public housing on public land.
