Mr. Conn Murray:

I would accept it is not a Dublin problem per se, but a lot of the issues are Dublin-centric or east coast-centric, and this is accepted even by those of us who work outside of it. There are differences in what can be achieved during a particular year in the build programme and what can be achieved in a previous year. In our case we may have overachieved in a particular year but - and the committee has probably looked at the statistics on this - we did not get our full programme across the ground this year. When we consider why, it was because we had difficulty getting Part 8 planning through the council. We had to go back out to the community and there were slight delays. The progress for 2019, 2020 and 2021, however, will be on target.
