Mr. Ned Brennan:

I will take up two of the questions on mixed tenure estates and the right to buy. One can develop estates with proper structures in good locations with good infrastructure, transport, social facilities and community buildings, which ensures that people are provided with accommodation in the best of locations with the best of supports where people will want to live because the location is attractive. The right to buy does not necessarily make an area attractive for people to live in.

The Government is trying to put together funding proposals for the JESSICA scheme at the moment. We have not been able to access the European Investment Bank or other programmes directly; we have to go through Departments. We are trying to interface with some European agencies in order to access funding.
