The scheme covers the period 1997 to 2013. There were 31 applications made for Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown up to the end of 2019. The witnesses might come back to me on those applications. That information would be of interest to me.

On the land aggregation scheme, how many sites are we talking about in total? The report refers to 47 sites that were transferred. I am sure there are more sites than that. Further on, the report states that 36 sites have gone to approval stage, that these sites comprise 159 ha, and that approximately 3,370 homes are earmarked for those sites. It also states that there are 37 sites, comprising 89 ha, that are not suitable for development. How many sites have come under that scheme, how many of them are in Dublin, and how many of them have plans approved under, say, Part 8? I am speaking in this regard not about plans in the pipeline but plans approved. Also, how many of the sites have been built on since 2010?
