All I would ask the Minister to do, because these are positive developments, is to apply exactly the same framework agreement on a regional basis for the new builds. For example, there would be one for Dublin and one for the south west. That would mean that not every individual job for an infill development of ten, 20 or 50 houses would have to go out to tender. One could have the same process. All I ask the Minister to consider doing, because again this is what the officials are telling us, is to have these on a regional basis rather than in the centralised way he has for new builds. That could save a lot of time in terms of the tender process, and I believe that is worth exploring.
