There is a shared services model which we pursue with local authorities. There are regional procurement frameworks in place for other types of services. I do not know if they are possible for capital construction but I will take a look.

On the Land Development Agency, LDA, it is likely to take a similar approach, in terms of having a pre-approved procurement framework for certain aspects of its work. On the social aspect of that, local authorities will also be building social housing on their own land, in conjunction with the LDA building on State land.
