Mr. Michael Layde:

I do not wish to avoid answering the Deputy's question, but we do not know. The number is contingent on how much commercial building happens. The building market is at a low ebb. The objective of Construction 2020 is to ensure that construction will be revitalised. As Part V will apply in that regard, one is a function of the other.

The review of Part V is being brought to a conclusion. Construction 2020 refers to that process as well as to consequential proposals that will be made in the context of a planning Bill that is under preparation. We are considering the future shape of Part V. The Government must make a decision in that regard. Without pre-empting that immediate Government decision, though, the Minister of State with responsibility for housing and planning has made it clear that a situation should be maintained in which commercial development results in a social housing dividend. The evolution of Part V over the years has been complex and perhaps even unwieldy, but our considerations are subject to a Government decision.
