That is not the sort of housing to which I was referring. I was referring to social and affordable housing and State-led construction, not private. Bray is the second largest town in the country. It had its town council which was working perfectly well. All local authority services, including housing, were then merged with Wicklow County Council. It has lost a significant amount of ground and momentum. It may never get that back because the focus is no longer on a town the size of Bray but on the whole county. I accept efficiencies were gained but they were at the cost of services.
