Mr. Conor Skehan:

There are two parts to that. I will answer the first part and I will ask our chief executive to answer the second part. We have heard other members say what Deputy Quinlivan has said. We are all in agreement that terrible mistakes have been made in the past by building monocultures, for example, in cases where there are 500 units that are all the same type of house. I hope we never go back to that again. The reality is that in future it will be even more complex because we need a mixture of socials and types, including big and small units, as well as mixtures of tenure, whereby 40% of units will be built to rent and 60% built to own, etc. Building in future is going to be a complex endeavour. Local authorities may well be the conductor of the orchestra by bringing all these people together, but may only build a portion for themselves.

John O'Connor will speak in detail about the practicalities, but we are not in any disagreement about what Deputy Quinlivan is saying. It is a question of how we do it - the details are important.
