Mr. John O'Connor:
Several sites are very large. We need to get them properly planned to get a proper mix of housing and the right types of housing. It is not just about the mix, but also about having one-, two- or three-bedroom homes, and we need to make sure they are developed properly. The larger sites in particular take a good number of years to be taken through. The one thing we do not want to do is underutilise sites that we paid a lot of money for. They are coming through and the Deputy will see a very rapid acceleration in the coming years.
