I see one example here, that in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown the county council purchased a 3.2 hectare site for €8.8 million in 2001. The site was transferred into the scheme and the council was able to recoup €10.25 million. What has happened with that site? We are not talking about Leitrim or parts of Sligo; this is in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown. One would imagine a site of that nature, the best part of ten acres, would be a prime site for social housing, given the demand here in Dublin for affordable housing.
