The strategic management plan. What is published on the website is 1,700 ha that will provide for potentially 42,500 homes but if we are to drive delivery and be confident in our numbers, we need to know what each local authority is doing with its land and how it will meet its targets and numbers. That is the piece of work we have been developing since the housing summit in order that the Department and I can have confidence in the numbers.

On the redress scheme, that is being led by the Department of Education and Skills. What we are interested in primarily is the lands we have now and how we can use them. I will have a separate conversation on that with the Minister for Education and Skills to see where that is coming from but it is being led by him.

The Senator asked about the CAS. We put out that call in August. I do not have additional numbers.
