Ms Kathleen Holohan:

We will try to answer the questions between us. The Deputy spoke about the Part V system. I can only speak about the experience of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council. There were difficulties associated with it in our county at the height of the boom when developers wanted to give us money and did not want to give us units. By the time the collapse had come, they wanted to give us units but they did not want to give us money. It had turned around. We achieved nearly 600 units between social and affordable housing in that period. It took an awful lot of complex work. By the time the developer applied for planning permission, he might have been quite a long way down the road in terms of design, etc. This meant we did not have as much control over the design of the units as we might have liked, or would have had we been building the units ourselves. We got a developer to build a halting site for us. Various things like that were useful. The Part V system certainly had its place and had a role to play. I would not like to see it disappear completely.
