I will finish with two sentences. The Minister knows these sites as well as I do. They include O'Devaney Gardens and Dominick Street. What is to happen in the provision of affordable housing in O'Devaney Gardens? The council may finally move to provide some social housing. The site has now been idle for 12 years or more. The position is the same in the case of the site on Dominick Street. These are prime sites that it would be wonderful to have in any city. It is really due to market failure if we cannot move on these sites.
