One other solution to that, in particular in the larger local authorities that are carrying a lot of the cost rental, is for the local authorities to have a portal. South Dublin County Council had a portal at one stage but it has been closed. The council only advertises the small number of discounted market units that it is delivering. Even within a local authority area if there is a way of promoting that, it would be really helpful.

I have a real concern about what is happening with Project Tosaigh. If you go on the LDA's website, the idea was for larger schemes over 150 units not yet commenced or that had been stalled. Generally, the understanding was that it would be inner urban and it would be apartments. If we take, for example, Archers Wood in Delgany, that is not what that scheme was for. It is less than 150 units and it was not stalled. In fact, Cairn Homes had the units almost finished when the LDA entered into a forward purchasing agreement. Does Ms Timmons have any concerns that Project Tosaigh as an activation measure to deliver cost rental, in particular in large inner urban higher density schemes is not what it is delivering because none of the schemes that are currently listed as LDA cost rental meet the initial set of criteria? They are all sub-150 units and some of them are sub-100 units. There are some apartments, but they are low rise; they are generally houses and duplexes. They are properties that would have either gone onto the market or gone on to AHBs for cost rental or social rental.
